This is exactly how it looked at around 7am. I have not re-touched it at all, the day began as a red one, now it is going from pinks and blues, to blue and vanilla. Gotta get gardening before the vampire sun comes up to get me. The cranes came for their seed and I noticed when I came out to take a photo, the shadow of the baby was on the body of the mother.
8:28am, I have washed my hands literally of weeding and trimming, so much more to do! But I got a nice reward, the blue girl roses are in bloom and smell so sweet 
.
Tonight the clouds settled in and they were thick, I didn’t see the moon till it got higher over the lake, 
It was beautiful. I watched it go through the clouds as it moved higher. 
It is just a beautiful sight as the moon moves in orbit. Tomorrow it will happen once more. I will of course be watching.
I am working on “ab”-stractions, my way of making crappy photos I take into abstracts – here’s a few samples, 
It’s a lot of fun – what will become of them? Some will be used on exhibit, some will get trashed – but some bad photos turn into new art, and what the heck is wrong with recycling?
Last night ther heron came down and fished with Ringo and I. He stood in the water, I stood at various places on the lake, neither of us caught anything, but that didn’t matter, I was glad to have the heron back. Every morning I keep going out to see if it is on a branch in it’s nesting tree.
Earlier I had been out in the yard taking pictures
of dragonflies, they are everywhere and will stop close to me as if they are as curious about me as I am about them. 
The butterflies too were all over. 
We now have a small bunny that appears from time to time . 
The little guy came when the cranes were here and Papa crane chased him off. Baby crane is still changing color, his eyes are still lighter and he does not have the red crest yet, though it is coming in little by little.
Ringo was busy under the bushes eating a long blade of grass.
The band of brother mallards are still hanging around with the pekin ducks, but Carbs is nowhere to be found. Have not seen him in weeks.
Fishing is horrible for some reason, even with the harvest moon tonight, not one little tug on the bobber. 
Tomorrow night I think I will go to the marina and take some pics of the moon coming up over Lake Monroe. It’s just such a treat to see it so close and so big. The anhinga sat up in the tree and watched from his vantage point. 
It was a good night for moon gazing and bird watching, just not for fishing, only for feeding turtles.
