Almost night in the backyard - Skywatch Friday

Right before it got dark, I peaked out the window and saw this night heron sitting on our dock. He's been hanging around the channel a lot lately but this was the first time I've seen him not hiding underneath someone's dock.

One of the frogs living in our shutters. I wonder if he's a young one. He's prettier than the other ones I've seen. I love his little round fingers.

The clouds were moving out just as the sun was going down. Story of our lives. It rains all day and just as it's about to get dark, the clouds leave and the sun peaks out.

Another night in paradise.
