I love this photo, which was taken by Gary Levenson-Palmer. A hummingbird, probably an Anna's, is silhouetted against the sunset.

A nice way to end one's day, don't you agree? Thanks to Gary for allowing me to share his photo with you here.

The morning clouds have disappeared and this afternoon is filled with bright sunshine. Early this morning I heard the sound of large waves hitting the shoreline. Also heard were the CA Sea Lions barking on Fish Rocks (near Anchor Bay) and the lovely calls of two Hermit Thrushes. I hope you are hearing loveliness where you are too.
