Purple Finches (juveniles).
A truly busy holiday, with font orders coming in and a bike ride and thoughts of starting a real job-job tomorrow for the first time in twenty years. Had a nice late hike with Jack, though, where the skies surrounding Beech Hill were filled with towering, dramatic clouds.
Summer sky.
To bed early, I guess.
