Against the Sky

This morning's sunrise was at 7:02 a.m. I had just returned home
from putting grandsons on the school bus at their house.
.

It was a warm breezy morning.....

so I went to the field with my camera.

The clouds were moving at a very swift pace.....

creating different patterns as they floated on by.

See if you can locate small black spot in the white area.....
. Click on the picture to enlarge.....

This is what it is!

"a Turkey Vulture "



While in the field, I made a photo of this large Oak!
.



It and a few others like it and several Hickory trees.....

are why we have a lot of spring cleanup to do every year.....

.....leaves and branches.....





We did manage to rake a few leaves and
.
trim several ornamental grasses yesterday.

Here's the remnants in a wheel barrow to prove it.




After leaving the field.....


I stopped to check one of the older Bluebird houses....
.


.....still no sign of Bluebirds.....


Disappointed again.........


but.....


while going back inside.....


I noticed.....

the breeze was creating music with my chimes.....

.
so I took a photo of them against the sky.....


.


Almost simultaneous, as I pointed camera to sky.....

....other sounds were blending in.....


not that of quietly chattering Bluebirds.....

but.....

that of loud honking geese.....

.
"against the sky"


.
A "sign" that soon I will be able to capture.....

.
this.....against the sky.....




and later in the season.....


..... this against the sky!
