While I wait for a hummingbird’s return to a feeder or wildflowers, I often look around for something else to focus on between the bird captures. I never tire of “shooting the moon” and was happy one day recently when I looked up and saw the moon framed in clouds.

Today, no moon or mountain views, the clouds are very low.

I’m happy I decided to skip this weekend’s festival. It’s no fun setting up a tent full of photography in the rain. The rest of the weekend is forecast to be the same. Rain and more rain, much needed and appreciated.
