today was full of wonders.
My camera is my lap dog so I was able to capture
three shots before these parrots had shot over our head.
The combined speed of us at 110kph, the birds something
similar in our direction, they were gone before I saw them!
The skies were superb, I shot off at lest 30 cloud shots in
one afternoon. I'll share some more another day.
Sorry about the fuzziness, shot almost straight up through
the windshield. From the silhouette alone it is difficult to
identify the parrots, it is easier to say which they are not.
I will not be able to see your posts or comment until we get
home next week.

Thank you to all the wonderful people who manage this meme
for the rest of us sky addicts.
I am sorry to read that you go to a funeral.
ReplyDeleteHowever I am glad you showed these great shots!
Take care!
Wonderful trio and the first photo is the best one by my opinion.
ReplyDeleteI've never seen a flock of parrots before, so I am really impressed by these photos. The first picture is especially beautiful.
ReplyDeletelike the play of the dark against the light and shapes of the birds against the stark white cloud formation. that first shot is perfect.
ReplyDeleteShall be thinking of you over the next few days.
ReplyDeleteThe top photo is magnificent! I'm holding my breath looking at it!
ReplyDeleteBravo!
That is amazing.This is the way we see geese over here.
ReplyDeleteBlessings,Ruth
Lovely Photographs !! Really loved the birds in the sky !! What a fantastic capture ! Great..Unseen Rajasthan
ReplyDeleteLove the blizzard of parrots! I laughed at myself, though - I looked at the photo and said to myself "That looks like more than 39 birds!" but then I realized it was the skywatch number - doh!
ReplyDeleteMagnificent, Arija, as always! Needless to say, I've never seen a flock of parrots fly overhead! What an amazing shot and such marvelous blue skies!
ReplyDeleteMy thoughts are with you as you go to the funeral. I know it's a sad time for you.
The birds! The birds!
ReplyDelete**Thinking of you**
Always.
But you already know that.
Great shots despite the windscreen and motion. I can't imagine seeing that many parrots in flight. I hope everything will go well for you and your family at the funeral, Arija.
ReplyDeleteJanice.
Great shots. Usually if I see something like this it's gone before I get the camera aimed and focused.
ReplyDeleteA really great SkyWatch - how exotic with parrots :)
ReplyDeleteTake care!
Beautiful sky and birds, Arija. I'm so sorry to hear about your brother. May you have a safe trip...

ReplyDeleteHallo Arija,

Hello Arija,
ReplyDeleteI had no idea that parrots flew in such large flocks! Your captures from the car are quite dramatic. Safe trip and be well.
WOW ... wonderful series of birds in flight. It's not easy to capture these moments ;--)
ReplyDeleteMy thoughts remain with you and yours in your time of sorrow.
Hugs and blessings,
Those are such wonderful shots of the parrots flying overhead.
ReplyDeleteThe first shot is very cool, with the way you have caught their path, echoing the curve of the cloud.
My heart and thoughts go out to you, as you lay your brother to rest. Stay well.
Beautiful shots, just magical how those birds draw patterns in the sky.
ReplyDeleteSuperb shots. Take care.
ReplyDeleteSuper shots, love them. What a noise they must have made.
ReplyDeleteThinking of you on the way to the funeral. May all those parrots be a reminder that your brother is now another bird in the sky-watching over you, my dear.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shots. In the first shot it looks as if they have formed a line on the border of clouds.
ReplyDeleteYou have an excellent way of talking in your blog. The photos pair so very nicely with the commentary.
ReplyDeleteI am so glad to have you back! I am glad to hear it was a beautiful funeral, that is comforting, nevertheless, yes, the feeling of loss remains.
ReplyDeleteThinking of you after the funeral Arija.

There seems a magical symmetry between the free flying birds and the flight of a soul you are going to commemorate. Beautiful pictures.
ReplyDeleteWow...fantastic!
