Sky Watch 6

SKY WATCH
Starts All Over Again

Thursday 28th August

07.30pm GMT

Thank you!
The Sky Watch Team

Tom, Sandy, IMAC & Klaus



This weeks intro is from our guest Thomas Deep, known to many as the 'Fishing Guy'
Sky Watch is my favorite place to be on Thursday and Friday. On Saturday and Sunday I want to be on the lake with a chance to catch some fish. I take a good camera everywhere, but have one simple one with me on the boat to see what I might find. The people running Sky Watch are the greatest group of guys and gals and I'm happy to count them as my friends. Here is my offering with a poem for the occasion.



The waning Moon is setting in the West-
with a beautiful lake sitting below.

My boat's at the dock prepared-
for a fishing trip, I do love it so.

The weather's perfect for the fun-
to try to catch some fish.

I certainly hope that I will find-
the Crappie biting as I wish.

My vintage Norwegian sky went on line this morning but I ddn't have time to add to the linky and now there is 340 listed - despite the note to leave a comment here only 142 comments so looks like half the contributors are not bothering to comment.

Hope to visit at leatst few others tmorrow.

What better place to be, than by a lake in the late or early hours of the day! The way you caught the reflection of the moon and your poem give the image a special "reflective" quality. Thank you for sharing! :-)

Corinne in Forks, WA said...

Nice shot and poem.
Glad to join in, though a little late. I keep finding myself considering skies I see for Sky Watch Fridays. SWF has become a driving force in some of my pictures. Not a bad thing.
