Sky Watch Friday has on it's own site. Please check out the site and link in if you wish to participate. There were 346 people last week with beautiful Sky photos. You can link in from my side bar or at the start of this post.
This week has been dark and dreary so I take you back to directly after the World Series of Baseball in Philadelphia and the MetLife Blimp was coming back to Akron, Ohio along Interstate 80 through Pennsylvania and Ohio. The MetLife Blimp is a neat site in the sky. I spotted it as I came up Interstate 60 in Pennsylvania.
I got almost right under it as it crossed the interstate highway.
We traveled along Interstate 80 through Pennsylvania and Ohio for a while.
To keep my skies interesting with another flying sight I will show you a small airplane flying over my house. We are not far from the Kent State Airport.
This was a flock of geese at a small pond when a group of them took to the wing
They had just taken off so they were quite unorganized.
That's my sky show for the day so go out and see some other great skies from around the world.

Nice shots. No blimps in our neighbourhood today.
Great varity in flying "objects". Well done. I wish you a wonderful weekend
Love those SkyWatch pictures, FG.
Especially the unorganized geese.
tee hee.
Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family!!
My favourite has to be the geese over the lake, the second from last. Gorgeous!
We don't get blimps here, and we only get planes and helicopters when someone's lost in the mountains, so I loved your 'airshow' this week! Happy Thanksgiving and Happy SWF, too.
Blue skies from you today, huh? Beautiful!
And happy Thanksgiving to you and yours!
Cheers, Klaus
Blue skies to cheer us up. Love the planes and blimps.
I no longer see the organised or unorganised geese, but yours made me smile. Thanks for sharing.
Go Met Life and Snoopy! (my husband works for Met).
The two bottom photos are very picturesque.
Happy Thanksgiving!
Great catch for sky watch! Happy SWF once again :) Wishing you a fun and nice weekend!
Nice SWF series. Love the blimp.
Happy Thanksgiving.
I wish I could fly too! I sometime dream that I am and the feeling is great!
So nice to see "identified flying objects" in nice clear skies. The skies this week around here have been most uninspiring. Happy Thanksgiving to you and happy SWF.
I think I've never seen a blimp on Sky Watch since I participate. On the other hand, I don't visit the 300 and so blogs each week!
But I prefer nevertheless, the geeses. They seem to fly well-ordered, like a squadron.
What great shots! and all kinds of flying things! What fun! Thanks, FG!
Great set of shots as always, FG.
Very nice series of photos. For some reason, the one of the blimp really makes me smile; don't ask me why. Are blimps inherently funny?? All I can think is: So, what's up! Hmmm, I'm not explaining this very well...
great series of photos, the last one was my favourite.

Sure got some great flying skies this week Fishing Guy
Very cool shots, well done.
Cheers!

FG,
You have some really busy skies over your house! Liked the blimp..not something one see all the time!!
Nice shots, especially the shots with the birds.
I love the blimps!!! All of your photos are great! Hope your Thanksgiving was wonderful.
Great flying cigar. Love the geese and further down your blog, those amazing icicles! Take care walking underneath when it thaws.
You have beautiful, calm, peaceful skies dear Fishing Guy ... Have a nice and pleasant Friday and week-end!
Hey fish guy - Happy Thanksgiving back at you! Fun skies - always changing, whether by man or nature. Great post.
Wow your sky is full of activities. :) Happy Thanksgiving to you.
Oh boy have I ever been on that interstate? Only hundreds of times with my husband in his rig.
As always I enjoy my visit here so much and they are all great photos.
But, as a country girl I have to say that my favorites are the pond and the geese.
I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving. Oh my you should even be done with your evening snack of left overs by now.
That's my favorite part of thanksgiving....the snacking later in the day.
So did you fish or watch football?
Happy SWF:-)
I like how you showed man made flying machines as well as those born to fly with their own wings. Happy Thanksgiving.
Hey FG, Wow---you saw all kinds of things in the sky, didn't you????? I love blimps.. Their sound is so unique. I used to see them when I lived in Texas. Remember when the Goodyear Blimp was the ONLY one???? Times ---they are a-changin'!!!! Hope you all had a great day!!! Did you eat too much?????
What a great series of flying things! Perfect skywatch post.
I also enjoyed all of your 'identified flying objects'. The blimp was especially interesting since I've never seen one up close and personal. Thanks for all your pictures.
We used to have the Goodyear Blimp fly over once in awhile. That was before the age of digital cameras. I like all your pictures.
Great Sky pictures series.
The last two with birds are my choice
Have a great weekend!
How can geese get unorganised? Thought they always fell into line? Maybe they were having an off day?
Great collection of photos for sky watch friday, thanks for sharing your view of the horizon.
Love all your sky shots, but the geese have to take the prize. Nature always wins. That last photo is great!
a nice series of skywatch shots featuring various modes of "flight"...like the geese best...i am partial to wildlife...
have a great weekend.
So much here! I love blimps--especially Snoopy ones!
The whole series is great.
Great and varied series of images, Fishing Guy! Thanks for sharing!
First of all - Happy Thanksgiving! Great "flying" collection!
Fine zeppelin !

Thanks for sharing all your flying little things. Unfortunately you didn´t catch any flying fishes at this round:)
such clarity of these skies.
that's a series of nice pictures there. I love it. Happy Sky watch from me.

I love seing blimps!They're so cool looking.And I really like the ;ast shot,with the geese.
What a great little series. Love it. I haven't seen a blimp for years--very cool. MB
The metlife pic is a real capture. You're always seeing the most interesting things-and capturing them on film too.
I love your shots of the blimp in the blue sky.
Happy Skywatch & Happy SWF>
Dark and grey here too FG. Rain all day!!
Wonderful sky shot! Happy Thanksgiving! I trust you had a nice celebration.

Love the blimp shots! The birds taking off from the lake are excellent. I always have trouble with those shots.
Very nice shots. I love the closeup of the blimp. My favorite is the "disorganized geese."
F.G. In answer to your mallard question. Their heads are bottle green, but it depends on the light direction, the feathers shimmer in different light.
What a wonderful set of photos! It seems a wonderful theme about 'things that fly!' Great SWF post!!
One of my alter egos is private pilot so of course I liked the airplane picture best. I invite you to come see my Coastal BC sunrise and sunset. - Margy
A fun series of 'flight' photos, from the graceful to chubby!
wow! great blue skies with lots of interesting stuff going on!
A great series of photographs, enjoyed every one of them from the blimp to the geese, great shots.
Beautiful photo. Feel you enjoy that moment.
Really nice shots! I like the collection of different kinds of things that fly across the sky.
:-) Thanks for the Thanksgiving wishes.
Hey, that's Snoopy - "Curse you, Red Baron!" :D

Hey Fishing Guy! Nice shots!
Nice sky pictures. I like to watch blimps in the sky.
I remeber Goodyear blimps when I was a child. Great series of images today.

Beautiful travel sky. Great shots.
Lots of activity in your part of the sky. Thanks for sharing. I love all the photos of the deer.
Great shots, the birds do look very unorganised!
Fun post. I think I've seen the Met Life blimp before. But without camera. (It was a long time ago.)
What a lovely variety for SkyWatch Friday! Great job!!!
