A cloudy day before Juneteenth

We got some rain last night and, when I woke up, it was cloudy but yesterday's heat had been sent packing. I went on a morning trek hoping that I wouldn't get rained on.

My neighbors' chickens were out enjoying the yard and, I presume, the cooler temperature.


The woodpecker at the other side of the yard was peeking out and perhaps contemplating its day.

On my way down to Starkweather Creek I took in some sweetly scented pine air. 

The creek was rather still but the birds were singing their post-breakfast choruses.

I made my way to the bike path and spied a mallard hen in the distance. It wasn't until I got home that I noticed she was with a duckling or two.

Lots of bunnies about. 

As I was headed home, the sun peeked out from behind the clouds all-too briefly.
