There were very dark clouds indeed hanging menacingly over the Don CeSar this afternoon.  It was definitely raining somewhere to the north of us.  Fortunately it did not rain on me.

I caught a Black Skimmer in mid-wingbeat as he made his way homeward.  The water was full of smooth undulations but no whitecaps, all the colors of the sky and sea reflected in its surface.  Just beautiful.

There were long lines of Beach Pennywort stretching out on the sand from the dunes.  In the lawn this would be considered a weed, but on the sand it looks just right.
