For this week I am sharing a sunset and a Skywatch Friday from my backyard.
This is the start of my skywatching for the evening. Plenty of beautiful clouds to make a pretty sunset.
While I am outside on my deck watching the skies I can not help but notice the birds. The hummers zooming by my head.
A male ruby-throated hummingbird, this little bird is king of my yard and feeders.
My fluffy looking cardinal, another male bird that likes to chase other birds away from my feeders. Mr. Cardinal was a little frustrated that I was hanging out on my deck. He will not come to the feeders while I am standing around taking photos.
I hope you enjoyed my skywatch and to see more beautiful skies from around the world
please visit Skywatch Friday!
Thanks to our wonderful hosts of Skywatch: Sylvia and Sandy. Thank you also for stopping by to see my skies. I hope you have a safe and happy weekend. Happy Skywatching!

We've had more hummers than ever this year, but oh, do they ever FIGHT. Constantly! I'm about to get out my flyswatter and teach them some manners-LOL!
ReplyDeleteGood Morning Eileen,
ReplyDeleteLovely photos as always.
I love the birds and those wonderful skies.
I was looking at your dog in the sidebar photo and he is very like
our Charlie.
Is he a dog who loves to eat
because ours is like a dustbin!!
Have a good weekend.

ReplyDeleteLove your blushing clouds, great shots.
ReplyDeleteHi Eilleen, I sure do like that Cardinal - bossy little guy but that is the nature of the beast. Your hummer looks peaceful - that reminds me to put out the new hummingbird feeder I just bought. Have a wonderful day today!
ReplyDeletei like that top one - looks like the clouds are forming a zipper. :)
ReplyDeleteLovely sky and birds and did you notice the cloud in the first shot looks like a bird's head.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous sunset!
ReplyDeleteSuch lovely, colorful skies and clouds, Eileen! And I always love your beautiful birds!! Wonderful captures for the day!! Hope you have a great weekend!!
ReplyDeleteLovely colors on the sky, and fluffy sunny clouds! Your cardinal is amazing, we don't have that bird in Norway.
ReplyDeleteA winning combination Eileen, skies and pretty birds. Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteToday's post is like a Peach Margarita on deck. Yum! That's the drink I imagine in my hand as I watch the sky from your spot. At first that hummer looked like a Rufous. Love your birds. Hope you have a fun weekend and take lots more pictures:) Me
ReplyDeleteNeat clouds in the first couple of shots, Eileen. I miss seeing cardinals out west. Enjoy your weekend!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pink hue!
ReplyDeleteWow! The variety of birds you get. Beautiful sky shots too.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful sunset from your backyard. I also love the hummer and cardinal.
ReplyDeleteYour sky shots are beautiful and it's a delight to see the birds! Love the cardinal...every bit of him says...take a look at me!!!
ReplyDeleteExcellent photography! Love the photos of the birds.
ReplyDeleteThat first sky photo is so incredible! Happy Skywatch Friday.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful. Those pinks are so soothing.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful skies. The colors are spectacular. The Hummers photos are very special!

I love your nature and last two are beautiful, lovely Eileen.
ReplyDeleteyou have hummers in your backyard? That is NOT fair! I wonder how far spread the hummers are?
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, calm and silent skies : )
ReplyDeleteI like the red bird, is it a cardinal?
ReplyDeleteBeautiful sky :)
ReplyDeleteWollreflections
A wonderful collection of photos! I love all your sky photos, but being a sucker for color the last one is my favorite. And oh how seeing your ruby-throated hummer friend makes me miss all the hummingbirds that would visit our mountain home! I look forward to having a garden here in town that will encourage their visits. I ADORE that cardinal photo - he does indeed look annoyed! LOL! Fantastic capture!
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures you show both of sunset and the beautiful red bird.
ReplyDeleteWishing you a great weekend :)
