Smoky sunrise again today. Smoke from the fires in western Colorado that has spread to our area. We need rain to help the firefighters in the west and to prevent new fires in our area.

The full Moon this month is called the Sturgeon Moon and we had clouds everywhere as I was trying to capture the full Moon rising. I got one good shot when the clouds parted for just a brief moment. #Moon

From last night, the Moon 88% illuminated in the early evening with clouds all around. The sky was still blue so this is really a daytime Moon.

This is the time of year we have two kinds of hummers competing for the feeder, the Broad-tailed who have been here since May and the Rufous who just arrived. This is a beautiful male Rufous. They will stay a few weeks and continue on their migration to Mexico. #bird

This is the first year the Northern Flickers have come to the birdbath, they usually like to stay in the woods. This beautiful female came for a drink yesterday. Taken through a smoky sunrise. #Bird #Naturephotography
