Two fantastic photos Rosa..!!

The main image is really brilliant...........I love the tiny birds, they look superb silhouetted against that amazing sky..!! I could see that as a huge canvas hanging on a wall somewhere.

The 2nd image is just as good............the light is wonderful and I love the pastel colours in the sky and the vibrant green tones in the landscape. A stunning rural scene!

The birds were circling above me very quickly Keith, and I took many shots to get this half decent one, so I am very pleased with your kind comment, thank you.

The second shot was into that kind of light where you cannot see what you are taking! I was trying to get the church in the picture, but in the end was just pleased with the sky and managing to get the cows in the shot. Thank you for your very kind comments here as well.

That sky is amazing and the birds make the shot. I'd certainly have that on my wall any day. Lovely light in your second shot too. You are lucky to live in such beautiful surroundings.

Rosalyn Hilborne club has replied to Jean
Thank you Jean. It was taken with the camera looking directly up towards the sky...and I couldn't see a thing! I do feel very lucky to have some very nice walks very close to home.

They were flying so fast Nick, that I was afraid I wouldn't actually get them in a shot!
Thank you very much for your kind comments. Take care ~ Rosa.

A wonderful cloud formation enhanced by the birds, I hope you have had a pleasant Easter Monday even though it was cold. Looking at my Observers Book of Weather 5/- 1955 it looks like cirrus cloud
4 years ago. Edited 4 years ago.
Rosalyn Hilborne club has replied to Peter Castell club
Thank you Peter. It was a beautiful sky after the beautiful Sunday weather. Yes I would say they are cirrus. I remember so well learning about clouds in Geography at school. The Observer books always come in handy, and what a bargain at 5/-
Had cooler but very nice weather on Monday and spent most of it in the garden. Hope you also had a good BH weekend Peter. Take care.

¿Cómo sabes que son mensajeras? ¿Acaso hacen competiciones y entrenamientos en tu zona?

Rosalyn Hilborne club has replied to José Manuel Polo club
I stood watching them for some time José, and someone in a nearby village has racing pigeons. We have a horse racing course nearby and they often hold pigeon racing competitions when racing is out of season. Thank you for your question and kind comments.

Rosalyn Hilborne club has replied to Amelia club
I was very lucky Amelia!! I wasn't sure whether I got them or not! The sky was amazing...I was very pleased with that! When there is no racing at Wincanton Race Course, they have a lot going on, including Pigeon racing.

Hi Rosa,

I like this simple picture very much! Despite the apparent simplicity, you have managed to set the camera to freeze the action perfectly, something I hardly ever manage to do! They are usually too fast for me to track properly... Admiration!!
Best wishes and stay safe!

Hi Peter,

Thank you very much. I am pleased you like this shot. Sometimes simple is better. I have to say I have the same problem capturing the fast action, so I was extra pleased on this occasion, as you can well imagine.

Take care.
Best wishes, Rosa.

The clouds make a great backdrop for the birds! They look rather big, I wonder what sort of birds they were...

Thank you very much. I couldn't make out at first, but they were racing pigeons...and very fast flying in a large circle!
