When Skywatchers go watching they look up at the sky.
They lie there in the meadows, and watch with an eagle-eye.
When Skywatchers go watching they keep away from crowds;
They flee to the open country and look up at the clouds.
When Skywatchers go watching with cameras at the ready
They take a tripod with them to keep the pictures steady.
When Skywatchers go watching they stay till the evening comes;
In Australia they watch the sun set between the graceful gums.
When Skywatchers go watching they leap out of bed at dawn
To pounce upon a sunbeam that's only newly born

But this Skywatcher was lazy; it was cold so she stayed inside!
She just snapped through the window when taking a ferry ride!

A window with a story here:

We're allowed to be lazy sometimes. It gives a different perspective.
We have some lovely skies here, but I am too unsteady on my feet to go out and take pictures. I look out the window and think what a lovely photo that would make, but I am too tired to get the camera out.
I'm with you - no watching from a prone position any more Unless I can see the sky from my bed. ;-)
great perspective

Love your words and the picture they paint.
Good idea you stayed inside out of the wind and spray and still caught the sky and the sparkles.
ah lovely point of view!

Very true,indeed.
Thoroughly enjoyed From Inside Out words and image. Thank you for sharing.
I like the ferry window shot. And I'm only up early (right now there's beautiful sunrise developing) because it's a requirement of my life. And I'm way too lazy to haul around a tripod. Maybe there are more lazy than you think!
Yes, this one works well - window cleaning done, I take it! Good rime about skywatchers!
I love this sky watch poem! It's very clever. Not to mention, you took a great picture as well.

Great frame and a good read of a poem for skywatch!
It turned out well just like this. Why go outside if you don´t need to?
