114/365 - POTD - Evening Sky

>> Tuesday, April 21, 2009 – 365, 365-2009, flowers, POTD, sky

A cold, dreary day. Time to retreat back under the wool blankets. Today's baseball games were canceled due to the rain and wet fields. So I was exempt from working the Snack Shack in the cold. Even the kids just want to burrow on the couch and watch TV. We're watching the the Cubs play the Reds. Thinking about it makes me cold.

The evening sky as the clouds start to clear away:

My orchids are starting to bloom again. Attempted macro without a macro lens.

Nest update:
Another light blue egg has appeared, so we're up to 6 eggs. Of course, we'll take another peak tomorrow.

Erika – (April 21, 2009 at 10:29 PM): wow, beautiful flower shot!! love the colors!
Mandy – (April 22, 2009 at 5:53 AM): I just love how many colors are in the sky shot...WOW. Almost like a painting.
Robin – (April 22, 2009 at 6:03 AM): Isn't it weird how the eggs are two different types? Is that normal? Or is another bird hijacking the nest-builder's nest? Some birds do that. Your blog has become a nature show. Is that cool or what?
Nicki – (April 22, 2009 at 6:57 AM): Love your flower shot and great silhouette on the sky photo.
Reds – (April 22, 2009 at 7:14 AM): wow - that orchid is so beautiful!
Angela2932 – (April 22, 2009 at 12:42 PM): What a nice contrast, the orchid and the foreboding sky! And I'd keep a careful eye on those bird eggs if I were you. . . who knows what will happen!
