Skywatch Friday at Inwood , New York



As usual, my camera got away from me, and there were too many photos to choose from, sorry.
But I thought this bird deserved first spot!

The view from the front door of our apartment here at Inwood.....

and all the rest are taken up at Inwood in the same street this afternoon...in about a half hour stretch at about 5pm this afternoon....

This is one of my favorites...


I think this is the start of my antennae series!


always a silver lining....



and just to throw in an interesting building for you to view as well.....



an amazing thing happened while I was taking these photos...suddenly there were all these birds flying around...wow...so I decided the only way to try to take a photo was just to keep clicking...and see what happened...managed to get a few which you will see in a minute!




the clouds were doing some amazing things for me...I was soo lucky!

I didn't have as much luck with my fire escape shot this week!


The tops of the buildings are all so interesting...and different!

OK so here are the birds I was telling you about! I have never tried to photograph birds before. Luckily the camera knew what to do!

some of these look like you are in a canyon!


a few birds again...

and a few more!


Hope you enjoyed this selection of photos I chose (almost randomly) for you tonight...as it is so late...from about 95 photos that I renamed and resized..any of which woud have loved to have been chosen...mm...think I better go get a life!

Looks like you did have fun capturing shots of the sky. Well done. I see your dog Abbey on the side. We have a black lab, part shepherd and her name is Abby.

Hi. My dog Reba and I both really like all your photos! Especially the first one with the bird on the street light, though they are all great. I have to watch the sky more, haha.

We have both posted our 1st SWF posts. You will find them here:

Thank you for this interesting tour ofthe Skies aboce 'Inwood'..
You really pushed the boat out here, lots of time and effort.. but I think it paid off in many of the shots.. the birds in flight was very good, but my favourites are the ones where the shots a framed by the buildings..excellent Sky Watch post .. I for one appreciate all you time and effort.

Forgive this part of my comment as this is done by Copy & Paste.. but with over 300 to visit and check I am sure you will understand...
May I thank you on behalf of the Sky Watch team for your post this week and for helping to make Sky Watch special.
