Bright morning

I saw the moon setting behind the pines.  The sky is mostly blue.  Squirrels are up but not birds. The creek is a mirror.  Why is the water most reflective at dawn?  The tide and the wind seem to pause and let the water go slack. I'm puzzled why I don't see feeder birds this morning.  A pelican is fishing and the everlasting crows are around.

At lunch, a cardinal couple, chickades, and juncos were all that visited.  It is clouding up.

The sun is glaring through dramatic clouds.  A great blue heron is perched on a piling while mallard drakes paddle below.

A little rain preceded a pretty sunset. Then the moon rose between two cloud banks. This is the best I could do from the car.  By the time we got home, it was behind the clouds.
