One photo a day challenge: Day 125.

Most of the day today it was either raining or completely cloudy and dark.

We had some nice bird visitors. A flock of Pine Siskins, a group of Blue Jays, and our first of the year Baltimore Oriole pair.

I would have loved to photograph the birds but the conditions were poor for creating good photos.

So it seemed like another perfect opportunity to wait for the sun to set and go outside. Use this opportunity to work with lighting and train my lens on the flowers have on our porch.

I really love having the completely black background against the well lit flowers.
