Linking up with NF Winged and Skywatch Friday
I took a lot of photos this past weekend during our getaway to Ocean City, Maryland.

This is a Cormorant sky. I had to edit this post after I found out one of my Cormorants is a lifer "The Great Cormorant". It is the one with white feathers around it face and head. Some of my facebook friends noticed the difference on my Cormorants. Thanks to Linda and Arlene!

The bridge at the Indian River inlet and some cool cloud formations.

I am pretty sure this is a Red-breasted Merganser. The lighting was not the greatest and with the tide changing and the waves it was hard focusing on this bird.

Surfers catching the waves. Love all the blues, the water and the pretty blue sky. It was a great weekend.

After dinner at the Crabcake Factory which was delicious by the way, we watched the sunset over the bay.

The sunset and a few ducks hanging out on the bay. Zooming in I saw that the ducks were Buffleheads.

I love the colors and the pretty reflection on the water. I hope you enjoyed my Ocean City skies and birds.

Yes Eileen, you certainly got some superb sunset shots there. Good to see the Red-breasted Merganser shot too. It's not an easy species to get close to over here, all my pictures are rather poor and not a patch on yours.
Excellent shots! Great perspective of the bridge, and a gorgeous mellow sunset.
lol, I have a shot from Morocco that looks pretty much like your shot of the cormorants. :)
The last of your sky shots are, well, perfect! Everything about it is jsut right.
And I see you redecorated again. Love it.
Crab dinner and a sunset? Sounds like the perfect evening to me! Absolutely adore that last sunset shot. Wow!!!!
Love the sunset pictures. Those waves were big.
Beautiful photos of birds and burning sky...
Surfing birds???

Hi Eileen, Love all of the photos but the last one really caught my attention. Love that tree in the lower left corner. That somehow just 'makes' that picture. Thanks!
