What a drop-dead, knock-yer-eyes-out gorgeous day! Bright blue skies with fluffy white clouds, a nice breeze out of the northwest, dry air with night temps around 40º F (4.4º C) and daytime high around 70º F (21º C), with a similar forecast for tomorrow. And I have both days off! Today was errands day of the two, so I did my usual wander through the Dykeman Spring Nature Park on the way to the grocery store. In the wetlands section I had two Hummingbirds zip past me and heard lots of birdsong. The upland meadow was full of Chimney Swifts and Barn Swallows swooping around, all way too fast for me to get a shot. I also saw a pair of Brown Thrashers in the brush beside the Meadow Trail, but they were very camera shy and never came out from behind the foliage for a good shot. That's okay; I still got some good shots that emphasize just how gorgeous the day has been. Enjoy!
