When I went outside last night around 9 PM the sky was already dark, and the Milky Way was very clear, and colorful.
First shown are two pictures of the Milky Way – Rising behind the redwoods, and another, straight up. Next, before dawn, I saw the crescent Moon.
At 6 AM the Sun rose, a reddish yellow ball, through smoke on the horizon. Soon after, while I was taking pictures of one of our resident hummingbirds sitting on a nearby branch, it did a quick little dance in the air, and settled back down – Made my day! Please enjoy these six photos:
