Blue skies


Hello, at this time we had pretty blue skies and lovely weather. I am a warm weather person and I love sunny warm days. How about you, do you love summer?

This week I am sharing some fence, sky scenes and birds from my yard. Also, sharing some of the clematis, beautiful blooms this year on my fence. Sometimes I find the hummers sitting in the tree tops but my hummingbird likes to sit on top of an old antenna on our roof.



The male Ruby-throated Hummingbird has been seen often sitting on top of an old antenna on our roof. I guess it gives him all over view of the whole yard and his feeders. The male hummer is very protective of his space and feeders.



"When we feel stuck, look at the sky. The clouds reminds us that everything changes."  unknown

I just loved seeing the clematis growing in my yard this year, I hope you do not mind I am sharing more blooms growing along my fence.


 "Where flowers bloom, so does hope." Lady Bird Johnson. I love all our summer blooms, they make me happy.


Another species of called Jackmanii Clematis growing in our yard.


Happiness is feeding the birds. The Blue Jays seem to know just when I come outside with the peanuts.



I never get tired of the blue sky! Above my capture May 29th of the moon and a couple of jet contrails.  Thanks for visiting and for all the nice comments. As always, thank you for visiting and for the nice comments. I wish everyone a happy day and weekend ahead.

Here is a list of linky parties for part of the week, I hope to see you there.

Thanks to Theresa @ The Run*A*Round Ranch for hosting Good Fences.
Thank you to Sylvia, Yogi and Sandy for hosting Skywatch Friday.

    I love the warm weather too, but not when it's getting too hot ;)

    Happy Thursday!

  6. I am so jealous of the bluejay. The hummer is one I always adore watching.

    Warm days? No not me...I like our mild to chilly winters best. But then, if it was warm and sunny without the blistering heat index I may change my tune.

  7. Hello Eileen!:) Lovely nature photos, and your Clematis is so beautiful. I love the flowers but they will not grew in my garden, and after several failed attempts, I'm happy to view them whenever and wherever I can. Cute photo of the hummer, and lovely shot of the Bluejay. Enjoy your day!:)

  19. Beautiful shots, Eileen. Our Clemetis was and is beautiful this year as is yours. We have Nellie Moser and a new one called Josephine.
    Hummers are so much fun to watch. We have a Filbert tree by all our feeders and the hummers like to sit on the branches and watch the world go by. I like to watch the clouds also and I do love the warm sunny days.
    ENJOY!!

  20. Lovely shots. Enjoyed my visit tremendously.

  21. Hello Eileen, your birds are beautiful and delightful! This weekend is a long one here in Quebec, as tomorrow is St-Jean Baptiste Day, and next weekend is a long one as well, as next Friday is Canada Day! Take care of yourself and I hope all is well with you.

  22. Your clematis is quite spectacular! Gorgeous blooms and colors.
    Our hummers are very protective of their space as well. There often is quite the commotion going on in our backyard.

  23. Hi Eileen, Beautiful views and those blue skies are stunning. Love the fences with the clematis. Gorgeous blooms and the Blue Jay is beautiful!!
    Have a great weekend ahead.

  24. Ooooh! Your clematis is beautiful! Mine has finished blooming for awhile, and I miss it so. Your noting how clouds remind us of how things change range so true to me. I recall taking great comfort in watching the skies when I first moved away from home. I was so homesick, and I recall thinking how my mom and dad were seeing the same skies back home. Of course, they weren't since we were 1000s of miles apart, but I was pretty young and didn't know much yet. Have a great weekend, Eileen.

  28. We just went through a heat wave, over 40'C, and I didn't like it at all! As for the skies, they are almost always blue in our area! I never tire of looking at your lovely birds and flowers, dear Eileen! They are gorgeous!

  36. I certainly love warm sunny weather in summer, but not like today, it's rainy, grey and hot with a high humidity. Your Clematis are so pretty, but I most admire the hummingbird and the Blue Jay, just beautiful.

    ReplyDelete
  37. Great post filled with lots of wonderful photos.
    That little hummer is sure perched there nicely.
    Oh my we both did fence with Clematis today - You have some really pretty ones for sure.

  38. I used to be a cool weather guy but now I am most comfortable when it is hotter than blue blazes outside.

    I love all your colorful blooms.

  46. Stuck as we are in mid winter, just the sight of your blue skies is good for the soul. I'm a clematis lover, they are a wonderful addition to your fence.

  47. Hello Eileen. Here I am way down at the bottom of a nice long list of followers. Here the pretty birds have all gone to the hills or even Canada, stopping here in the spring for food and a rest. Instead we now have English sparrows and robins. Some house finches. Crows. I enjoy seeing all of your clematis. You have a an impressive collection. Enjoy your weekend.

  48. Hi Eileen
    Your blue skies could rival our Colorado blue skies! I love the last photo with the moon peeking out in the lower corner. You clematis is beautiful! We had a week of high 90's so mine wilted a little and I'm hoping it will pick up as it cools off again. Hummingbirds are my favorite. I have been remiss in getting my hummingbird feeder u--must do that this weekend. Enjoy your weekend!

  55. Being a Brit in Texas, I find summer very challenging. Especially when I want to be out there with my hands in the dirt and it's 85 degrees and 90 percent humidity! Not fun! I do love blue skies though, and clouds fascinate me. Lovely photos :-)

    ReplyDelete
  56. I love the blue skies! It has rained so much here for so long this year that blue skies are especially appreciated. Sweet little hummingbirds are fiercely protective of their territory. And the clematis blooms are just gorgeous. Happy weekend!

    ReplyDelete
  57. I envy you on blue skies and nice weather (being a warm weather person myself and having an autumn weather instead of summer right now). however nice images.

  62. In Norway we have SUNSHINE and RAIN, and I am not always sure if it is summer.
    Anyway, we have Clematis ( only a few ) and I guess they come in all different colours.
    We have a tiny little green house with some eatable stuff that we are excited about.
    Gardening is quite nice. Still lots to learn.... :-)

    HAPPY WEEKEND!
