Welcome to the Island Rambles Blog
Welcome to my blog world. This is a photo blog, poetry and short story blog about my life on Vancouver Island, B.C. Canada. I take photos of the birds and scenery I find. I hope you enjoy your time here and please come back again. PHOTOS WILL ENLARGE IF CLICKED. The photos are slide show enabled if you click on them. If you click on the top lighthouse photo it always takes you to the most recent summary list of my postings. I am also at my Facebook Page Island Rambles or Islandrambles at YouTube.

Mountain Beach SkyWatch Sunset

This post is for Sky Watch, please click to the Sky Watch new web page and see some amazing skies from all around the world, many Sky Watch sites look to be done by professional photo bloggers who take much better pictures than I do with some amazing equipment also. These pictures are taken on a nearby beach that I ran down to get the shot of the moon and sunset and then drove to a little mountain or hill to get some higher shots. Not all taken on the same evening though. I did enhance the colors somewhat but not a lot. I don't use a tripod and with low light it is hard to get the quality I want. Happy SkyWatch Friday everyone. (I have to post this early as many of the Sky Watchers are in an early time zone.)

I am not posting skywatch post this turn. Unfortunately, I don´t have much time these days to go and take some pictures of the sky as I have a lot of work with starting teaching at two schools. But next Friday I will do my best to catch up with all you skywatchers:-)

ReplyDeleteHello there Island Girl. Thank you for your kind comment on my blog. Yes, I'm a doodler - that's my thing. I do a bit of photography too, but your's and your husband's displayed on this blog is fantastic. You and I live in very beautiful places.
ReplyDeleteStay Tooned,
Rick
Your pictures are gorgeous! Island living must be the way to go, huh? I love the colors you've been able to capture. Nicely done.
ReplyDeleteSo much color. A friend of mine used to tease me when I would accuse weird foods, like poptarts or slurpies, of being "colors that don't exist in nature." She always corrected me and told me that every color, no matter how vivid, could be found there. These pictures prove her right.
ReplyDeleteLots of beautiful sky shots. Our part of the world gets so many. I invite you to come see my post about cirrus clouds. - Margy
ReplyDeleteVery beautiful! All of them will make lovely postcards.
ReplyDeleteThese are gorgeous colours, Ocean. There's always something new and lovely to see on your blog.
ReplyDeleteThey're really beautiful, Island. I wish I can just go there and take photos too and just be amazed at the beauty of nature.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for your lovely notes to me. I will return a note to you in the next few day when I catch up. I appreciate so much that you have stopped by my blog. I have been delayed in responding to each of you due to computer problems.
ReplyDeleteI love the reflections in the first photo!!
