No, it's a pesky helicopter, that spent most of last Sunday, flying above us, taking photos of the facelift they've given the Peppermill Casino.
I wouldn't have minded so much, if they hadn't started the flights at 5.30 in the morning !!
These were all taken with my little point and shoot.
Took others with my 35mm SLR, but haven't got the roll of film developed yet..
Early morning..
Flying against the sunset...
Hmmmmm ...maybe it's heading off to the airport...
Nope ...here it comes again..
Ahhhhhhh ... blessed peace !!!
Have a great weekend all !!!
I just bought a Tokina 70-210 lens for my film SLR, so I'm hoping to get out, this weekend, and play with it. :-)
What are the rest of you doing ??
Go to SKYWATCH for views of the sky from all over the world !
Pretty sky photos, even with the pesky hellicopter!
ReplyDelete5:30 in the morning?! OMG. How horrible for you. But you did capture some lovely skies.
ReplyDeleteNice job Karen! Instead of just another one of those beautiful sky pictures you have a special theme as well. That was a great idea!
ReplyDeletehah hah, your comments of the pesky helicopter were so much fun.
ReplyDeleteExcellent shots of the chopper, I love those clouds as well.
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend

Nice shots. The sky is beautiful. Too bad it wasn't a peaceful view for you. Isn't it just a pain when they continue to fly around like that? So inconsiderate!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful skies in Middle Earth :)
ReplyDeleteHave nice weekend!
Great collection of photos with beautiful colour across your sky, funny about that chopper buzzing about the place.
ReplyDeleteI only have a little point&shoot digital but we like to take it out to play because you never know when a great sky is going to show up.
Oh I love these helicopter shots...I can just hear those rotors...your skies are beautiful...good captures...
ReplyDeleteChoppers make an awful amount of noise - but at 5:30???
ReplyDeleteMade a great photo opportunity!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful skies.
Happy SWF
Pesky helicopter! My favorite shot is your last. Heavenly.
ReplyDeleteYes, planes and helicopters early in the morning are a jolt. This is a beautiful sky.
ReplyDeleteWhat an anoyance to an otherwise beautiful day. Great captures. Glad I live in a no flight zone.
ReplyDeleteOh this post and picture story was fun!!!
ReplyDeleteAt least the helicopter wasn't looking for an escapee!
For this weekend... I'm hoping to do only gardening and go to church...
.•:*¨A Wonderful Weekend to you¨*:•.

That was just a tad early! But you do have lovely photos!
ReplyDeleteLovely Photos !! This is Great..Especially the last one is very nice..great Shots...Also I Have Started My Own Website And Would Like You To Have A Look At It.I Would Love To Have Your Comments On That Also.Unseen Rajasthan
ReplyDeleteI like the photos, Karen. Have a wonderful weekend!
ReplyDelete5:30am? Dear GOD in Heaven! That's too early for me!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful sky shots!
I'm going to try & get out this weekend too & take some pics of someplace other than my parent's farm, cuz, I think everyone's probably getting sick of the same ol scenery on my page! hehehe
5:30! I'd be annoyed, too - but at least you were able to see some lovely skies and share them with us.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pics, the sky can change so quickly and be even more stunning than just a few minutes before.
ReplyDeleteAnd I only had one helicopter!!
ReplyDeleteGreat shots!!
I understand the feeling. The big military choppers fly over our downtown buildings in the summer time. However, i will savor my sight to your beautiful skies. Happy a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteHello there Karen
ReplyDeleteI called by to say a big thank you for stopping by my Sky Watch post and for taking the time to comment..
I like this set of pictures... a very different takeon Sky Watching. We get woken at all hours by the local police helicoptor flying over.. not a nice sound at 4-5 in the morning.
Hope you have a great weekend with your new lens...

Wow...wonderful SWF photos!Great shots!
ReplyDeleteHave a nice weekend!
Just going to hang out, mostly, this weekend. My favorite kind of weekend. Have fun taking pics :)
ReplyDeleteGreat shots and I love the way you captured the helicopter even if it was pesky.
ReplyDeleteWOW! This is a spectacular sky! The pilot must have had an excellent view from up above. Great photos!
ReplyDeleteWell, the facelift given The Peppermill Casino certainly was not easy to picture, if that helicopter spent all day trying to do it :D Better luck next time (I do hope there will not be next time, not so early anyway).
ReplyDeleteYour pictorial story was so much fun! And you have such stunning sunsets there, or -- maybe it's you: you are so good at taking pictures!
Sounds like the helicopter was annoying, but the pictures are great!
ReplyDeleteThat helicopter made lots of twists and turns and made the photos very interesting. Nice captures.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful skies with the grasshopper chugging along.
ReplyDeleteKewl photos ;--)
ReplyDeleteI can relate to the noise of such events. I hate being awakened in the middle of the night by the local police helicopters.
Hugs and blessings,
A helo can be pretty noisy, but at least it kept you outside taking pics of the gorgeous sky.
