All that’s pink…

My weather app said that there was an 88% chance of a nice sunrise in my area this morning. That was enough of an unusual situation that it got me out the door a little after 6 AM, and yes, there was some nice pink color in the sky. I was happy. I went home and looked at the pictures I’d taken on my iPhone and thought, ‘Wow, that ibis looks so pink.’ Too pink. Could it be that I was taking pictures of the sand hill cranes and ignoring a spoonie right there with them? I couldn’t be that oblivious, or could I?

I picked up my camera and went back out, and sure enough there really was a spoonie right in the neighborhood pond. It was busy foraging and seemed quite content. I sat myself down in the grass and took 451 pictures by the time I was done. Yes, the app was right, it was a good morning to be out for the sunrise.
