The sky began to clear around 5pm and a beam of sunlight ignited a spiderweb. Because I was shooting through a window screen I got diffraction stars as well as iridescence. Wood ducks took over the turtle log on the lake. A flock of Canada geese paddled downstream past mallard pairs dabbling for supper. A great blue heron perched on a post to preen. Sunset was very orange.
Since 1/1/11 I have been describing what I see in the back yard. I occasionally digress.

Drizzle
The light was not good under the gray sky and yet we didn't get as much rain as I'd hoped. Titmice came for seeds during a lull. A female kingfisher rested on our dock bench. I don't know if she saw me but she soon flew away.
