Much less haze today but the clouds did a nice job replacing it. Third day in row with muted sunlight. Makes for good walking but not so good for photography. Fortunately there was not a lot to photograph this morning so I guess things worked out. Today’s feature image (above) is the group of Cormorants that have chosen to make this particular tree overlooking the Arkansas River their gathering place. In this picture they seem to be having a group grooming session. I did also stumble across my favorite pair of Great Horned Owl siblings sitting in the morning sunshine. They have not yet mastered the art of Not Being Seen. Below I have posted another Summer scenic.
