January 24-25, 2021 Mittry Lake, Arizona

 High of 59, bit windy and partly cloudy.

I was walking around before sunset and the light hit the lake just right and it was a deep blue. Sunset over the lake was really pretty.

The dock at the lake. A grebe posing in the colors.

Closer up of the grebe in sunset. This is reflection on a puddle in the campground. 

John took these this morning before I got up. Sunrise on the lake under a heavy cloud deck. Looking west a rainbow over the lake in sunrise.

I saw this HUGE thunderstorm heading our way. The contrast was so high that the camera washed out the foreground which was lighted with brilliant colors. 

Thunderstorm with sunlit palm trees and lake ahead of the storm. Looking down lake at the dark clouds. 

Edge of the storm from the campground. I finished this basket. It looked kind of plain, so I tarted it up with glass seed beads, gem stone chips and pine cone petals.  It is 6 1/2 x 5 3/4 x 2 1/2 inches. 

I love watching these flocks of blackbirds undulating over the cattails and in front of the sunset.
