Listening to the Brubeck Quartet today playing Take Five for possibly the hundredth time I relived the 1960's in just under five minutes. A perfectly smooth small stone skipping across the river.

small stones and skywatching

I love the movement in that colorful sky.
The perfect way to end the day! I, too, love the movement in the sky! Terrific capture for the day, Noni!

Simply beautiful. Happy sky watching!

Great sky!! Boom & Gary of the Vermilon River, Canada.
Beautiful capture of that Gypsy Sunset following you down the highway.
I love Dave Brubeck's music, it is the kind of thing I listen to while I write,Vince Guaraldi too!
It seems you endure perils of your own in order to get a photo :-) Taking photos on a fast moving motorcycle sounds precarious. But the shot is great, the movement makes it something very different.
Amazing that you were able to keep your hand so steady on the back of a motorcycle. :)
Ha! My word verification is SKIES
I'm not sure I'd be brave enough to try to take photos from a moving motorcycle!
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?

I LOVE Dave Brubek. Gorgeous sky! Wonderful small stone.
You sure get a wonderful view from the back of that bike.
You can't beat a sunset or any scene from the back of the motorbike?
that sky is magnificent. and thanks for the trip down memory lane with the Dave. two thumbs up!!!
Love the pink tones in the sunset.
What a delightful sky....I agree with Sylvia...what a lovely way to end the day.
Gorgeous capture despite the rush. :)
Love the post, Noni and a beautiful capture from the bike! I too, have shared many an hour with Brubeck and Getz. Thanks for the listen.
Thank you so much Noni. Boy did that take me back. Both my daughter and eldest granddaughter play sax.,
daughter plays tenor but granddaughter plays all of them. I love to listen to them jamming.
Great sky, love that flash of rose madder.
Beautiful sunset-the color is outstanding. What a treat to see this as you rode along on your motorcycle. Have a terrific weekend. Mickie :)
Gorgeous sky!
My Sky Watch, have a happy weekend!
A romantic sky! Like a final wave!
I love jazz from that era! I would be too frantic to take a pic trying to balance myself AND the camera!
Lovely sky!
Fabulous colors in your view of the sky, thanks for sharing with SWF
I'm impressed that you could take this photo from a moving motorcycle. Beautiful sky.
And of course, Take 5 is one of the greatest pieces, let alone jazz pieces, of all time.
Stunning sky! You must have a very steady hand - well done:-)
I think you did a great job with the sunset! Even managed to get a sliver of reflection, too!
Mmmmmm?..... I assume you were a passenger?....:)
Fiery sunset!... just love those.....:)
(still don't get the Zamboni?)
Wonderful sunset, Noni, I feel the speed through the picture!
Nice video too.
Happy Sunday!
Gorgeous sunset and colorful sky. happy skywatching!
Hi Noni, I just found the link you sent - Cheese and Crackers - while cleaning out my inbox. how I missed that I just don't know, but maybe it was meant to be saved until now, because it rings my heart-bell this morning. your writing is wonderfully descriptive and I'm happy that you "keep your grandfather's image wrapped in the cooler drawer of your heart". thanks for such a generous gift on this Saturday morning. I hope you have a fun weekend.
I'm terribly impressed that you could get a picture like that from a motorcycle (especially if you're old enough to remember the '60s!)--and thanks for the Brubeck bit. Always a favorite.
