Sunshine

The sunlit creek was glassy and nothing was frozen for a change.  I think it was milder than predicted.  I took advantage and went to the Rec Center pool in the morning. Before that, at breakfast the red belied woodpecker had suet.  A song sparrow waded in the birdbath.  Downy woodpeckers retook possession of the suet. 

After lunch, I indulged in Christmas cookie decorating.  While I was all sticky from rolling dough, a butterbutt bounced around the camellia right outside the kitchen window. A squirrel tried to raid the suet but the pepper drove it away.  Pelicans splashed down in the creek but not where they would be easy to photograph.   A pine warbler blazed in the sunlight.  A Carolina wren stayed in the shadows. 

Sunset was gold and rose thanks to some wispy clouds in the West.
