Good Morning Jan 4, 2022 -Sunrise, Sunset, Feathers, and Lemons

Good morning. It was all pinks and peach this morning. Not as dramatic as last night’s reds, but still just enough moisture in the sky to give it a good blush. It was warmer at 34f but still cold for me. I saw the hawk land on a lamppost off the side yard and ran to get the large camera. It was still a bit dark but hopefully a few of those shots came out. Then when I went back to the front yard, I found Blackey and another cat having a stand off. The little male Costas hummingbird is still dominating and guarding the patio feeders, and I see him now through the window on his perch on the aloe Vera plant. No little songbirds yet, but they will arrive soon. Time to refill the feeders then back inside for coffee. 

Happy Tuesday! -Michele

This morning's sunrise sky

This morning's Sunrise Sky

A Lesser Goldfinch friends this morning

I've been reluctant to pick the last few lemons of my little tree because they 

look so pretty on it. Perhaps just a little while longer. Amazing how much fruit 

this tiny tree produced in its first year in the ground. the blue elf aloe buds are 

coming along nicely. When they bloom they always provide a

 welcome spot of winter color. 

In case you missed that post earlier, last night's sunset sky was 

pretty spectacular, full of strong red color. This from the front yard.

And from the back yard a few minutes earlier.
