michelle A Moment of Whimsy A moment of whimsy , Bats , Lake Las Vegas
When I went out to admire the sunset, I snapped one photo, and then saw the bats. I love the bats. They are so fast, but they don’t move like birds. Their flying patterns remind me more of butterflies. I decided to try to get a photo.
The photo isn’t great, but I did manage to get one! I was elated.
Here is where I link up.

Nice! Our condo isn’t big though. We live in 578 sq ft.
Wonderful photos! I’ve always thought bats were fascinating.
Thanks so much!
You’re welcome!!
In the summer months and into early fall we have little brown bats living under our roof at the cabin on Powell Lake. Our cabin is small too, 420 sq’ with a loft for sleeping. But it’s plenty of room since we have all of the outdoors to enjoy. – Margy
Aren’t the bats fun to watch? Your cabin sounds lovely!
So cool! That sunset is gorgeous!

Thanks for the comment!
Love your photographs of the bats. they are a protected species in the UK and Europe as their numbers are on the decline. Beautiful sunset too.

Thank you! I’m so glad they are a protected in the UK. I hope those measures usher in their return.
Hate bats! Been to Lake Las Vegas!
Awww…. I’m sorry you hate bats. Such an interesting species.
I have a lot of bats in my garden. In the summer evenings they come out and fly over your head to catch the nightime bugs

That is awesome!
Beautiful sky capture, Michelle! I love the idea of snapping those flying bats! They frequent our balcony during sunset too and some time back, we had one that flew right into our living room, one summer evening, and it gave us a hard time before it figured out its way out into the open. Thanks for sharing your picture and the back story! So glad to see you join our #ww party this week.
Happy Wednesday and a beautiful rest of the week to you!
Cheers,
Esha
Thanks so much, Esha!
How fun! The colors in the sunset are beautiful! We used to like to see the bats in our old home when they would come out at dusk!
Thanks so much, Laura!
What an interesting adventure, especially with that wonderful sunset background!
Your post on ‘My Corner of the World’ is much appreciated!

Thanks so much, Betty!
A fire that doesn’t burn stuff down. Stunning!
Wonderful description!
We’ve put up a bat house which has unfortunately not attracted any residents for several years. I’d love to have them to reduce the mosquito population. Apparently skeeters find me quite tasty.

That’s the pits about the mosquitoes! I don’t really know where these bats roost, but we are at the edge of the open desert, so probably benefit from being close to their natural habitat.
Amazing! I haven’t seen bats since childhood. Thank you for linking at FB <3
This is the first place I have lived where there are so many of them. Thanks for stopping by!
Michelle, what a fun photo! I love watching the bats when they come out for dinnertime! I don’t get to see them so much in my house now, but my last two homes, I would sit out in the back and watch them at dusk begin their hunting rituals. It always fascinated me! Thanks for sharing and linking up.

Thanks so much! This is the first place I’ve lived where we can count on seeing a significant number of bats. So fun!
I love the bats! We used to live in a house that overlooked some older buildings. We could sit on the porch and watch the bats swarm and go into a chimney. It was very cool to watch. Thanks for linking up with us at the GATHER OF FRIENDS LINK PARTY 9. Pinned
Very cool! I’m not sure where our bats sleep. We are on the edge of the open desert. Lots of large craggy rock formations. I suspect their home is out there, but it’s just a guess.
