February 6, 2013 - More of Yesterday

Kestrel - also known as sparrow hawk

Columbia basin basalt

Horse heaven hills

Near sunset

Today was a lovely day - lots of sun, reasonably warm...and just not enough time to get in the photographs I would have liked to have taken.  So, I thought I'd share a few from yesterday (and the kestrel I promised a few days back.)
 
How to describe the beauty of the day?  This morning the sunset was pale pink and gold, and the hills across the river were outlined with sun and shadow.  Eagles flew over the river, through the wind we had earlier in the day.  Then, a trip into town brought views of the Snake River, the Columbia, and a very dark sky to the west, where clouds were beginning to gather.  By mid-afternoon, those clouds had moved in, changing the mood of the day for me.  The faint glow of a sunset in the evening, where a small, clear area remained on the southern horizon, was a final benediction to the day.
