I am linking to Skywatch Friday with up my backyard sunrise, a capture of the moon and lots of Vultures.
On Sunday morning there were NOT many clouds in the sky but the few that were there are a pretty pink color.
I like the closeup of the moon, it is cool seeing some craters and shadows. Not bad for my handheld Canon Powershot.
I do not think there is a time that I look up at the sky and NOT see a Vulture. Every morning they fly out of the woods next to my house and every evening they fly back. I can almost time their exits and the time they return. It is like they go to work, like I do every week day. It is amazing the numbers of vultures both the Turkey and Black Vultures that roost in the trees near my house.
My youtube video of the vultures.
Another shot of the moon and a pretty blue sky.
I hope you enjoyed my skywatch.

I enjoyed your pictures. The moon and sky are gorgeous.
We once lived in a very tall house with a turret on top. The turkey vultures would stand up there and make the most noise!!!
Very nice shots - I especially love the closeup of the moon! The regular schedule of the vultures does make me wonder what inner clock is driving them?
omg, that shot of the moon is incredibly stunning!
thanks so much for sharing your lovely photos, dear eileen!
happy thursday!
betty
I enjoyed your video of the vultures. I would be so excited to see them - and there are so many of them. Amazing!
Wonderful shots of birds, and especially, the moon.
The moon, the moon, it's wonderful Eileen.
The number of vultures flying overhead is amazing. Do they get the weekend off. Where do they go for the day? Hunting i suspect. What could so many feed on?
I forgot to say the moon shot is a beauty.
Love the video. The moon and sky photos are superb. I once saw a vulture in a zoo but to have so many flying above the back of your house is mind blowing to me.
Beautiful and sharp moon shot.
Beautiful sky shots! Loved the video of the vultures. I don't think I've ever seen that many at once before. They are amazing birds.
It must be amazing to have those around and even know the times they come and go :)
gorgeous moon shot!
funny, i was just watching the vultures arise from the woods behind us this morning, too! :)
Those shots of the moon are gorgeous!
Eileen, I loved your post. The moon shots in the pink sky are beautiful. I only saw vultures in the game parks; not seen any around the valley where we live. Thanks for your regular visits and kind comments on my blog. Have a great weekend. Jo
Nice moon shot! It looks like winter there.
Lovely series of shots. I have a hand held Cannon too and am often surprised by the quality of the shots.
Nice!
Happy Friday to you!
Hi Eileen, what settings did you use for that nice moon zoom? My Elph doesn't seem to do that well.
Have a nice day.
Beautiful photos, Eileen. I esp. love your moon shots.
Wow! Your vulture and moon shots are beautiful! The close-up of the moon is pretty intense!
You must have a wonderful camera and a steady pose!
~Happy Weekend to you~

I love your moon shots--and yes, your camera did a great job of getting the detail. Lovely sky too-doesn't "jump out at you", but is beautiful in a subtle way. Have a lovely weekend. Mickie :)
Superb captures, Eileen! The shots of the moon are gorgeous!
The first moon shot is fantastic. I like the sky pictures too.
I don't remember seeing a better half moon than this.

The moon shot is awesome. I can see the craters there.

Your sky photos are always lovely Eileen, that one of the moon is just beautiful! I enjoyed the video too, thanks so much.
Wonderful shots of the sky through the trees. Moon shot is great.
Wow a vulture and the moon. People can make a poem or story about this. Great photos Eileen. Thanks for the visit.

All beautiful, I particularly like your moon shots.
An absolute beauty!
Maybe the vultures want to fly to the moon? This is the coolest moon shot I have ever seen. I could see the luna so close!
Lovely moon shots!
Beautiful sky shots and your previous post on Northern pintail is sumptuous. i had lost your address somehow!!
Oh you do have lots of vultures flying around. Your sky watch photos are just beautiful. Love the moon shot!
Beautiful MOON shots!! And I LOVE Vultures!
And of course they ARE going to work Eileen -- they have an important job to do cleaning up! The sky pictures are beautiful, especially love the moonshot
!
Holy cow that's a lot of vultures - so cool! And your moon shots are spectacular!
PS Sorry it's taken me so long to get over here. I'm about to introduce a new line of greeting cards which just went to the printer's this week, and it sent the rest of my life into a bit of a black hole while I did...
Lovely sky shots; I love the moon!
Great moon shot, Eileen, and beautiful soft skies also. That's alot of vultures in your video!
What a beautiful shot of the moon, crater and all! Look, I can see a vulture going to work in one of your photos!
These are some incredible captures!
Great moon shot,
Here it is geese and egrets we watch going to work each morning.
wow, very impressive moon picture, the detail is so awesome. beautiful sky pictures too.
Goodness that is a lot of vultures! I guess even vultures have to keep a schedule if they want to make a living. Love your moon shot, that is beautiful.
You have quite a number of vultures there! As for the geese, I think they are spending the nights in a field east of us.
excellent captures!!
Such beautiful set of Photos...
breathetaking!...really!

Oh, and that's a lot of vultures! Oh my goodness! what a sight to wake up to every day! Love that first shot of the trees silhouetted against the soft pastel sky.
the moon shot is awesome!! i LOVE when the close ups of the moon come out like you want...with the crates and shadows...(i too have a canon powershot)...and sometimes it takes a a few shots to get just what you want!! thank goodness for digital!!
love all your other pic's too...the sky...the vultures!!

The close up of the moon just took my breath away.
