It's time to link up with my favorites memes Skywatch Friday and NF Winged
First my here are birds for NF Winged. I have a male Yellow-bellied Sapsucker
The male Yellow-bellied Sapsucker has the red on the throat and the head.
and one of my regulars the White-Breasted Nuthatch. This is how I usually see the Nuthatch on my feeder. They love the peanut suet.
Between leaving for work early and having it get so dark early in the evening I have not had many chances to take sky shots. These are from last week. Below are two shots of the sunset, one from my back yard and the second is from near my mailbox on the street.
The sunset from the front of my house and street.
Above is a shot of the moon on Dec 3, it was early in the morning. I think it is a cool shot, the seeing the craters is neat.
Later the same day, I captured the moon during the daylight hours.
To see more beautiful photos and pretty skies please visit Skywatch Friday
and to see more of the winged critters check out NF Winged

Lovely sunsets Eileen. Your picture of the woodpecker showed how well camouflaged it is against the tree trunk against passing hawks. By the way, I hold the bird left handed and take a picture right handed - funny but no one has asked that before. Have a great birding weekend, it's Friday morning here.
ReplyDeleteimpressive shots! the craters on the moon look like 2 eyes of a skull.:p
ReplyDeleteGreat series for Skywatch again, Eileen. The fourth photo is my favourite today.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing and enjoy your weekend.
I love the moon pictures
ReplyDeleteNice shots of the birds and the moon. I especially like the daytime shot.
ReplyDeleteyour moon shots are amazingly beautiful.
ReplyDeleteVery nice post Eileen!
ReplyDeleteI like to discover birds I don't have in my garden!
The sun set is gorgeous and what can I say about the moon... Stunningly sharp!
Cheers!
Perfect lunar shots.
ReplyDeleteLovely series of shots! You do so well capturing the shot of moon.
ReplyDeleteHI Eileen... Wow that moon shot is a beauty...did you look for the meteor showers last night??!!
ReplyDeleteLovely sunset..the Sapsucker I love, but we only have them in warmer months interesting birds they are!!
Have a great weekend!!
Grace
Wow--the sapsucker sure blends in with that tree...nature's protection! The other bird seems as if to suddenly take flight. Love the sunset shots, and boy, I LOVE seeing photos of the moon, or looking at it in person! It never gets old!
ReplyDeleteThe sunset is quite dramatic. I like the mottled look of the sky.
ReplyDeleteYou've got so great moon photos and very moody and dramatic skies!
ReplyDeleteIt is beautiful in your neck of the woods. We've been having rain and overcast skies so no lovely sunset likes yours.
ReplyDeleteGreat image series showing-
ReplyDeleteWish you a good weekend :)
Hanne Bente
