American Goldfinch.
Cool and wet this morning. Decided against an early hike and hit the desk instead. Got very close to finishing this typeface finally.
Renard.
Jack and I did’t get out until mid-afternoon, between showers. Sun and blue sky, then mist and overcast, then sun, then mist. I caught sight of no rainbows—but I did see a few birds. Heard more. Nothing like an early-morning hike, but still.
Best photo I got, though, Was of a backyard goldfinch. Also caught sight of the neighborhood fox out my back window. Three times. I like living in a fox’s neighborhood.
