The sun didn't quite go down as I was shooting this, but it's brightness emphaises all the little speckles sprinkled around the sky.

Cotton puff sky highlights Ole Glory
I was watching the sky today as we moved around the city on chores. This shot was while I was at Kinsel Ford dropping off a vehicle which needed repairs. I was struck by the contrast between the cotton puff clouds in the background and in the foreground the American flag flapping actively in the breezes brought in by a cool front.

Great Blue Heron ponders how to eat a catfish whole
Okay, you're a Great Blue Heron and you have caught a big catfish for your meal. How do you eat it?
Well, you play with it and poke it with your beak for about 20 minutes. (repeat poking and playing as necessary). Then you are ready for the "big swallow" (see bottom photo).
This was taken at Cattail Marsh Scenic Wetlands and Boardwalk in Tyrrell Park in Beaumont, TX -- a popular birding spot.
Excuse the fuzziness -- but this heron was a long way away and wasn't going to tolerate me getting any closer (fearing I would steal his meal).

This alligator at the Cattail marsh seemed to be enjoying a nap back a good ways from the viewing boardwalk. He was up on the land to get more heat to help digest his meal of one of his marsh fellows.

This was a recent sunset from near the Indiana-Michigan border. The cool night seemed to make the colors crisper.

Posing lizards thumb noses at gravity.
My brick-scaling, gravity-defying, photo-posing lizards are very active this summer, in case you wanted to know.
They want you to know.
