SkyWatch Friday: three of them in two days

Taken during Dick and Lindy's daily walk recently, and
posted for SkyWatch Friday, hosted
every week by Klaus, Wren, Sylvia, Sandy and Fishing Guy. Thanks, team!

The first two photos were taken on the same day, the third photo on the next day. We don't often see planes flying over our neighborhood, and three in two days was a bonus for my intrepid photographer and his faithful canine companion, Lindy, especially the biplane.

    That top photo reminds me a little of a dragonfly. I love these smaller planes. Here in BC we too often have huge jets overhead to break the quiet spells. SO glad you found your camera, Kay!!

    There seem to be several old planes including at least one biplane at our local airport. I rarely have the camera ready when they come by. You got some good shots.

    I'm not seeing many or any planes flying overhead right now. Actually, it's rather overcast. Thank you so much for stopping by, Kay and leaving your kind greetings. I'm at loose ends jumping from one thing to another here.

    The biplane looks like a nice, serene way to travel!

    PLANETS HURTLING THROUGH THE SKY

    Planets hurtling through the sky,
    Can you tell me one thing: Why
    Are you intent on fleeing
    Far from human sight and seeing?

    Great catches! I can almost see Lindy looking patiently up at the sky as the picture is taken.

    What a cool little bi-plane...Dick must have been so pleased to capture it on film,(so to speak)! I spend an inordinate amount of time looking up at the sky. While some object to plane traffic, it delights me that we're on a flight path for incoming flights...I love to imagine where everyone's coming from...:)

    I love the biplane shot. Our condo in Powell River is just to the right of final approach to the airport. Ours is a small one so we usually get small planes. Even our "airliners" are small. - Margy

    There they go, into the wild blue yonder ....

    My husband would love seeing that biplane, too, and it makes a nice decoration for the sky.

    At one time man could only dream of flying. Today we have planes, and even cameras to freeze a moment to remember and share what we see.
