Got up the hill early this morning, before the sun topped all the ridges. A little frosty, but bright. Quite a few birds flitting around, but none were overly excited to be photographed.
The sunny days here stack up like books on a shelf.
Back home in afternoon, I caught sight of another yellow-rump out my office window. Love those little guys.
