Skywatch: Are You Ready For Some Football?

I don't like Labor Day, because it means the end of summer. Even though I am retired now, and don't have to go back to work when school starts, I still feel that melancholy, that sense of loss. We usually run away to Whidbey to celebrate our freedom. This photo is taken there at the cabin. But with the coming of Fall, football returns! I am a dedicated Seahawk fan. And what better place to fly the flag than in a place where the osprey are constantly overhead, fishing in the bay, our true sea hawks.
I'm ready for some football!

  2. I feel the same about fall. I miss summer already, and it's still hot! Although I am an avid Dallas Cowboys fan, I'll still wish your Hawks well. BJ

  6. It's a beautiful sky, and good for you with being a football fan. I'm NOT, and sometimes I wish I were so this season wasn't so miserable for me!

  7. Go Seahawks! What a great shot against the sky. When I'm not in Southern California I'm in Washington near Kirkland. We are fans of the Seahawks!

  10. Hi, Linda! Thanks for your visit to my blog. Look at that sky! I spoke with my daughter this afternoon (it's her 30th birthday - yikes!), and she tells me the weather in Seattle has been outstanding.

  11. I love the Fall season, BUT we are die hard baseball fans and I so hate to see the season come to an end. Eventually we will find ourselves peeking at some football games.
    Have a nice week-end.

  13. Linda, I am glad to see you're a proud Democrat...I was looking at your flags thinking we need a Democrat flag to fly.
    Wow, I watched the conventions in part and whoa..!
    I hope you check out the link on my blog called Theocracy Watch. I just added it.
    I think you'll like it, maybe you're familiar with it, but it is a valuable link.
    Glad to see you back.

  15. Linda,
    This is a great shot. I don't know anything about football except that I enjoy the get togethers that come with the sport.
