I was on Lake Hodgson last week and captured this blue sky reflecting off the lake. I was following the Great Blue Heron as it cruised over the lake but the sky reflecting in the lake was special. I caught the bird right in the gap between the trees. Click on the photos for a closer look.
My wife called me the other evening and told me to check out the sky. I'm always telling her to check things out in the sky. She had a better view then I, but I loved what I was able to capture. This was from my front porch. The dusk was moving in and the sky was in alive in a pastel fire.
There are a lot of great skies to visit above.

Nice place to go fishing, or birding, or .....
Good thing your BH keeps an eye to the sky for you. Such a great view you have.
Lovely skies. I have yet to catch a good photo of a blue heron. They are way to fast for me!
Wonderful skies!
Wonderful reflections, and the perfect capture of the bird.
Your lovely pink sky is a real delight too.
Great colors.My wife keeps an eye out for photo opportunities for me also but then I need all the help I can get LOL
Very peacful and that red sky - beautiful my friend.
Wow, you couldn't have put that heron in a more perfect spot! I love how he's skimming just over the water, between the trees and their own reflection. Then the pink you captured at home is amazing. Beautiful shots as always!
"Pastel fire" is a brilliant description.
The egret punctuates the top photo quite nicely.
Nice shots--both of them.
Stunning silhoutettes.

They are both awesome photos. I seeing the GB Heron in flight. They are amazing to watch.
i am completely taken by that dramatically moody reflection. happy skywatching.
Beautiful captures Tom. I tried to capture a GB Heron this morning but he/she was having none of it! Have a great weekend.
Blessings and smiles
These are beautiful, indeed, Mr. FG.
both beautiful- i do love the shot of the heron. love the way their legs stick straight out when they fly!
The colours are so amazing. I am not sure if it is the time of year, or the angle of the sun, but glorious.
Very nice shots FG!

The skies looked so beautiful on your part of the world. The scenery is so superb. Have a nice weekend.
2nd pic is pretty - 1st pic is just wonderful. Of course I'm partial to reflection photos.

So beautiful especially when I clicked on them and could see the detail.
Hi, Tom. I love your description of "pastel fire". A perfect sky for that. Nice job.
What a view from your front porch!
great shots...lovely colors.
gorgeous captures!!
Tom, these are both wonderful sky pictures. I like a lot the soft pink tone of the last picture.
Maybe oneday I will be back where I can take beautiful sunrise shots. Till then I will have to be contend with just hearing the sound of the birds in the morning.
Both beautiful photos for Sky Watch Friday fans, lovely views from your place.
You really never cease to amaze me with your love of the skies... that beautiful coloring on the second one is outstanding. Very nice indeed!!
Hugs♥
Both of these images are beautiful...

I used to live up that way in a town near you..just outside Tallmadge, Cuyahoga Falls.

Stunning pink sky... I've not had chance to get a Sky Watch post up and running this week.. but I do have time for more visits this week... thanks for the fish picture.. my nephew as just took fishing up and is doing quite well... over here most of the fishing is catching stuff and putting it back... I'd rather eat what I caught... :O)
Happy Sky Watching
Tom
Specially the first photo is great. The reflection, the glittering on the water and the great blue heron make it a fantastic shot.
Enjoy your weekend!
I like the first shot Fishing Guy. It's got great elements as Jan said; but that pink sky is very pretty!
Lovely skies, sounds like you and your wife make a good team.
thanks for doing this Sky Watch Friday around the world. It is a lovely idea, and Fridays are so much more enjoyable now that I travel around the world and see the skies. your photos are awesome too :)
Some lovely images FG, I love the Heron one-thanks for sharing:)
Breath-taking, both of them! The heron in the first one is like icing on the cake.
Both are pretty-but I like the pink the best!
I'm glad you gave the sky a looking over. We reap the benefits!
You've got a couple of great captures here, Tom. I'm very impressed with your first photo -- you caught the heron perfectly.
That heron shot is fantastic!
Bo photos are gorgeous. The heron about to skim the lake is just breathtaking!!
lovely images! endless beauty in our world!
Both sky views are marvelous ;--)
Hugs and blessings,
