Jupiter at dawn

In the West before sunrise, Jupiter is very bright and obvious. The sky is clear and a few small clouds turned peach at dawn. The creek is smooth and even ripples hardly disturb reflections. Chickadees mobbing the feeder.

There's a breeze now and fair weather puffs of cumulus passing to the West. Mallards appear to be pairing up, paddling around in twos and threes. Jays and robins are busy in the trees and there are some doves around. I heard a kingfisher. A flock of geese descended on the opposite bank and after a while something upset them. They let the world know as they moved down onto the water. The morning and evening light is beautiful and the clouds have all passed on.
