Retreat!~ Skywatch Friday

New Perspectives~ Part 2
Even on Skywatch Friday there can be a new perspective, although this is the most common sight when you finally find these amazingly camoflauged sage grouse.

Reminds me og out wood grouse, this is how you usually see them. It's usually a startling experience because the flapping wings are really loud. It's always unexpected in the quiet woods.

Beautiful shot with the landscape divided into tree colour areas, the land, the sea and the sky and the birds lending a foreground to hold the eye.

Great job of selective focus. I love the colors and out of focus background. It looks like a painting.

Wonderful photo.

Thanks for the visit,

Cool. The hunter in me shoots with something else than a camera when I see this beautiful picture. Grouse is for me a delicacy. With a great red wine....mmmmmm :-)

Love this shot - low flying over the desert type terrain. How much more natural can this be. Have I mentioned before how perfect your music is for a background music?
