I am linking up with NF Winged and Skywatch Friday
Wow, the week is flying by and it is time to look for birds, watch the sunset and see the moon rise. I am looking forward to seeing your skies from around the world, I hope you are all joining the Skywatch.
These are more photos from our weekend away to Chincoteague Island, Virginia. We spent time birdwatching, hanging out on the beach watching the dolphins, we saw a gorgeous sunset and a lovely moon rising over the ocean.

We ate our lunch on the beach and it seem like we were going to be surrounded by the gulls.

I loved catching these Black Skimmers flying by, the Willets stayed in place.

The sun was beginning to set during this shot which made the grasses look especially pretty glowing from the sunlight.

The sunset at Tom's Cove

I like to try to include a bird in flight when I zoom into the setting sun. This photo is not perfect, but I like the wavy clouds in front of the sun, the bird in flight and the colors. After watching the sunset at Tom's Cove, we headed over to the beach to watch the moon rise over the ocean.

This shot actually looks lighter on the beach than it actually was, I used my flash, it is not the best of photos. But, I wanted to show this big and colorful moon.

What a pretty sight and we were so happy we decided to stay for the moon rise. This full moon on Sept 19 was the Harvest moon, this moon shot is actually two days later .
Happy Skywatching everyone!

Hi Eileen!!! Wonderful shots!!! I love the bird shots, of course, but your sunsets are really beautiful too!! Chincoteague is a place I'd love to visit. A couple of years back we had planned a drive down the East Coast all the way from NJ to northern Florida, taking in many of the barrier islands and nature reserves. Unfortunately we had to scrap the plan, but hope to do it in the near future.
Hi Eileen I love the whole post but those sunsets are magnificent. Lovely way to end the day.
Beautiful birds and Stunning shots of the sunset..

Great shots! My favorites are the sunsets,
I was in Virginia last weekend also, and have been wishing I took more photos, but I was having too much fun with my blogging friends.
I did try getting the moon rising but my little camera is not equipped for such shots.
Thanks for sharing these. Perfect timing, and perfect photos. Love the birds, too.

Hi Eileen! Beautiful birds and awesome sunset shots...
Your sunsets are precious, the best.
Lovely photos, I love the moon shots.
The last pic reminded me of Neil Young singing Helpless
Blue, blue windows behind the stars,
Yellow moon on the rise,
Big birds flying across the sky,
Throwing shadows on our eyes.
Thank you.
What a lovely taste of what it was like there!
A wonderful series of sunset pics. Hoping you enjoy a lovely week-end Eileen with lots of camera ops.

hi eileen, oh my word, you're so very talented with your camera.
these are spectacular!!!
i, especially, love your sunsets, truly stunning!

The sunset with the bird flying by and wavy clouds is my fave. A photo doesn't have to be technically correct to be enjoyed. What a great day and a great set of shots!
As always, great bird photos! And what a moon!
I got a similar Harvest Moon shot on the 3rd night but so sharp as yours! Nice photos!

BEAUTIFUL sun sets and moon shots!! love the seagull inviting himself!! When we go home to St.Augustine, we always stop off at McDonald on our way out to the beach and feed the seagulls. They lOVE FFs. we get some really great shots of them too - just keep your mouth closed :-}}

Hi Eileen, you have a way of making the viewer feel as though they are seeing the beautiful sites with you. I would love to see skimmers fly by, they are such striking looking birds.
