Okay, I never saw the movie, but the title fits these pictures so well. Saturday morning I woke up to the sound of birds singing and beautiful sunshine, so I walked up to the back half of the property, what I used to call "Rhonda's Nature Preserve." I could see a bird sitting on one of the fenceposts, singing up a storm--but until it took flight, I couldn't tell what kind it was. It was moving pretty quickly, so the background blurred--but the bird itself I managed to freeze in mid-air! Yes, a redwing blackbird.

Up close, you can see that the grasses are growing, but the thatch left over from last year is still there:

This picture I just took this evening as the sun set. It might look like a weird double exposure or a ghost picture, but the setting sun was illuminating the falling rain above one level, and not doing so below it.
