It seems to me I see wind socks quite often but I can’t think where. I’ll have to be more observant! This one is just perfect: the jaunty angle, the brilliant red, the perfect sky.

Thanks, Elizabeth … I had to take the shot from the ground pointing up. It was mounted on the corner of the roof of a building at a small airport in Markham, ON.

Such a colourful, whimsical shot. Love the bright red against the pale blue sky. Like Allison, I haven’t seen a windsock in quite some time. Maybe I need to look up more!

I hadn’t seen one in ages either, Allyson. This ‘biggy’ was mounted on the roof of one of the buildings at the Markham Airport! Had to take the shot from below so how fortunate the wind was strong that day.

What a beautiful, practical thing. The world needs more windsocks. I agree, Cheryl, it’s cheerful… Good eye. Is this for your ‘red’ series?

I haven’t noticed a wind sock for a long time Cheryl – what a great, simple, colourful shot.

Small airport in Markham, ON. does a lot of flight training for gliders and I guess wind direction is critical for towing one up into the sky.

16 inches of snow already? Time to hibernate 🙂

Hoping we’ll have enough warm spells here and there to melt a lot of it away, Gilly. 🙂

“The north wind doth blow/and we shall have snow/and what shall poor robin do then, poor thing…” A poem my mom used to recite just at this time of year, which sprang to mind after so many years, when I clicked on to your (in fact really very joyous) wind-sock, Cheryl. How merry and good hearted it is again that brilliant sky which, nonetheless, I’m going to think of as deceptive, and that snow is on the way! (Lovely shot.)

I didn’t want to post a ‘snow’ shot this early into November, but your mother’s poem is right on about the north wind and it certainly doth blow … this morning’s measure … 16 inches of white fluffy stuff and continuing, Barabara! No blue skies in cottage country, but it cheered me to discover this shot from just a couple of weeks ago.
