Quiet morning

Breezy and sunny, though there are clouds, the reflection on the creek is blurred.  Cardinals, finches, and chickadees on the feeder.  A dove basked down below.  A bumblebee tried to get in the portulaca flowers but they weren't open for business yet.

Toward evening a mouse explored the patio.  Then there was another glorious sunset, this time very golden.  The creek was still and reflective, but the camera could not settle on the exposure since the reflection had much less light.  Egrets and herons flew to their night roosts through purple clouds.
