Lightning
Sandy casually mentioned to me that there was a lightning storm tonight. I ran out as quickly as I could and for ½ an hour stood out in the backyard and took 155 shots. Only 9 captures but this one is the best.

Adolescent Duckies
There were 10 duckies when we left for vacation and now they’re down to 9. Pretty good when you consider they’re usually all eaten by predators by this time. They are at that ugly stage now though. Half way between fur & feathers.
