Almost night in the backyard - Skywatch Friday


A Saturday night in the backyard. The sun was going down behind the palm tree.


More sunset.


Blue heron on my neighbor's dock. The sun was almost down and I tried to use my flash to get better light but I didn't have much reach.


My shutter frog came out a little early. I usually only see him after it's dark.


A lizard on a plant in my screened in porch. They sneak in under the screened door but we have to make sure they don't get in the house.
