Last December 21st I went out at night to photograph the conjunction of Jupiter, Saturn, and the moon. There were too many clouds for that, but after a few minutes the clouds cleared just enough to allow me this last photo for the year.

Three days ago, I went out on a sunny day to the refuge for my first shoot of 2021 to be greeted by this sandpiper.

Thank you Rabirius! Since there were so many clouds, I did not have high hope for that shot, but it turned out better than expected.

Thank you Eliza! I’ll shoot for a full-noon shot next time, probably in the spring or summer since it’s too cold now.
