I am linking up with Skywatch Friday
These are some shots of the sunrise from our visit to Atlantic City last Sunday. I thought the colors were beautiful and I enjoyed watching the gulls flying over and seeing a few Common Loons in the ocean. It was a very peaceful morning and we practically had the beach to ourselves.

One of my main reasons for the weekend in New Jersey was to do some birding at the Edwin Forsythe NWR. I will be doing another post on the birds and ducks we saw at the refuge.
But for now the only birds I saw while on the beach were a lots of gulls and a few common loons seen in the orange ocean. They are quick, diving into the water and coming up in totally different area.
I hope you enjoyed my sunrise and skywatch post. To see more beautiful skies from around the world click here: Skywatch Friday. Thanks to the hosting group at Skywatch: Sylvia, Sandy and Wren. Thank you also for stopping by to see my skies. I hope everyone has a safe and happy weekend. Happy Birding!

Exquisite skyscapes Eileen.
ReplyDeleteuntil I read about Contrails in your posts, I always thought they were jet planes smoke.
ReplyDeleteWith this knowledge, I tested my very educated engineering and professor husband, what it that, jet plane smoke.
Wrong, it is contrail. I felt for once very clever. Thanks.
Absolutely beautiful photographs! I love all of them, but the crescent moon was amazing!
ReplyDeleteYour sky shots are gorgeous, Eileen. I love the soft colors you captured so well.

ReplyDeleteGorgeous skies, Eileen! And I love the crescent moon. Ono's quote says so much in a small sentence.
ReplyDeleteI did enjoy your sunset and orange sea with a floating bird. I love the fence line or pier going into the water makes the shot.
ReplyDeleteI LOVED your skies Eileen! And now I know where the Forsythe refuge is. I wish we'd gone there instead of to Atlantic City. Next time!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely gorgeous!

ReplyDeleteThese are stunningly beautiful skies and although the bird life was minimal I hope the colourful start and end to the day nearly made up for it! :)
