Looking over toward Newport, Rhode Island at dawn, Venus was shining like a silvery star in the sky....
And as I moved in for a closer look at the sleepy town, there were Christmas lights decorating a pier..
The "Visit New England" website states: "Newport is famous for its natural seaside beauty and for the magnificent mansions and gardens built there by the industrial barons of America’s Gilded Age."

I'm not feeling well today, but I had this post ready for Skywatch Friday hosted by Tom Wigley, so I'm putting it up now. I might not get by to visit blogs, so I won't list it at Tom's today, unless I start to feel better. I'll probably take the next few days off from posting, since it's a holiday weekend here. Have a great weekend everyone.

To those who are newcomers, the most recent nature walk is here:

Beautiful dawn! And Venus is there too - WOW! I love the Christmas lights and the spire in the background of the 2nd photo. So lovely. Hope you're soon feeling better. Take care of YOU.
Wow, I love the colors!! Great shots Lin. It has been so cold I have not gone out to catch any of our sunrise / sunsets but I hope to remedy that in about 4 weeks time when it gets warmer.
Love all the colors & lights!
Lovley photos! I hope you're well soon!
AS usual you have captured a stunning sky watch. Those colors as fantastic. What a dawn that must have been. Get to feeling better soon.
Very lovely sky. So beautiful. Sorry to hear that you aren't feeling well, hopefully you will feel better soon.
Glad it was ready - I love it. Hope you're feeling better by now.
It is well known that we Portuguese once sailed the seven seas searching for new lands, wealth and adventures.
We were brave in those days and gave the world new worlds!
Luckily I don’t have to sail the big oceans on a small ship to sea the wonders of our world …
No Sir, I just need to check with Mr. Tom, the finest host there is, for a trip around the world with SKY WATCH TOURS and with a click here, a click there I am quickly in the USA, England, Brazil, Italy, China, Australia, Finland … well, everywhere.
And on each stop I come to see a little marvel of our world under a great sky!
Hope you can come and see my piece of the sky at lenses & visions
Hope you feel well pretty soon.
Happy 4th of July.
Lovely photos, as always. Nice capture of Venus! Feel better soon. *hugs*
Oh no, I hope you feel better soon, and enjoy your 4th. These are beautiful photos and wow I'd love to visit there and see the mansions and gardens...
What a beautiful Skywatch! Your photos are always stunning!
Please take care, and feel better SOON.
Happy 4th.
These "SkyWatch" photographs are lovely. What a beautiful red sky morning. Hope you feel better, and thanks for your comments to welcome me home! Roxanne
Nice title, very appropriate. Love the color.
Sandpiper, I hope you are feeling better soon! I'm heading to your state tomorrow to visit family and friends! That first photo has a dream-like quality about it! Have a fun weekend.
Ooooh! Nice shot! I hope you feel better soon, too :)
Mesmerizing!
Get some rest and enjoy the 'Independence' and the freedom it brings.
pefect blend of the sky's colors.
Aah! Spectacular! :-)
Get well soon and Happy 4th of July!
Special to have Venus and the "red dawn" ... stunning!
Please feel better, you will be in my thoughts for Highest & Best health and happiness! Enjoy your Independence! ****#*#*#@&@&@& boom!
Great shot of Venus... I've always had trouble getting a shot of my favorite planet and celestial body... then I'm a fairly amateur photographer... I'll keep trying and erring...
Hope you're feeling better...
Those photos are stunning. Take care of yourself and use this weekend to chill out.
Very pretty pictures, as always.
Lovely early morning photos!
Feel better, Lin. Hope you can enjoy the long weekend.
Love this orange ribbon enveloping the Earth. I t make me think that somewhere, very far, the light keep shining!
Can't imagine that you can see a big star in your Sky! Talented
I would LOVE to visit New England someday ~ especially in fall when the leaves are turning colour. Those are beautiful pictures!
Hope you're feeling better and that you have a very happy Fourth of July!!
I am so sorry to hear that you are not feeling well. Also deeply touched that you let your "followers" know. That's a good idea though for me to keep in mind to let people know that I might not post comments for a few days. I love these two photos. So soothing.
I also was wondering if I missed a post telling what happened to the mother swan and her young. I've thought of them several times and wondered if they made it.
And yes, take care of yourself and rest and take TOTAL TIME OUT just for YOU!! I need to do the same here soon, can't keep going this pace. Hugs, RainforestRobin
So nice. I ashamed to admit that I've never been to Newport, and I've lived in Maine for almost eight year! Hope you're having a great trip.
Get well wishes along with compliments on your most beautiful skywatch photos!
Great sunset capture! I just love your page - very nicely done and it's as if I'm there along side taking the nature walk myself. BTW, the shot of the cardinal flapping his wings is my fav so far.
gorgeous shots, lin
hope you're able to enjoy the rest of the weekend with less pain :(
Hope you are feeling better and enjoying your weekend..beautiful skywatch..
Hi Linda
