I work until 7pm Tuesday thru Friday, so after work today, I went out to Lake Draper which is about 3 miles south of where I work. I was looking for Baltimore Orioles but got the Indigo instead. This guy landed on a brush pile about 10 feet away. This was taken about 45 minutes before sunset. Will try to get out there earlier in the days to come.

    Lovely colours - they contrast well against the dark background.

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"
