Incredible sky...

We commented that it would be a sad day, for us and for the birds, when this big, old, dead tree finally collapses.

It is an amazing sky, with the patterns and different shades. Long may the tree last!

@cruiser Thanks Chris - that's so nice to read as this was SOOC and I was trying for a bit of a minimalist feel. :)

@fbailey Hi FB - it was so unusual - must be something do do with all the wind we've been having. :)

@jacqbb Hi Jacqueline - it was a good one for the future - we haven't seen it like this before. :)

[Jane Pittenger]

Great simplicity and nice shapes that the branches make

[Ann H. LeFevre]

Love this in black and white- it features the silhouette of the tree and birds and really brings out the texture of the clouds. fav

@olivetreeann Thank you for the fav Anne -I especially appreciate it coming from you for a b&w for flashofred! Funnily enough this is Sooc - with the camera set for colour The whole sky was just black and white - it was quite incredible!! :)

[Marnie]

Oh wow, fabulous.

[Rob Z]

@golftragic It was really weird Marnie - this is the actual colour - it was naturally b&w. :)

[Marnie]

@robz Crikey, that must've been spooky.

[Fr1da]
