Beautiful pictures. I like DST, but would just as soon stay on it all year. (I do like the longer evenings and being old and retired I can sleep until light wakes me if I want to. Except when I can't, but time has nothing to do with that.) Arizona doesn't go on Daylight time... we have family there and have to remember to readjust our time difference when we call them.

He does look rather grumpy, but I think it's difficult for them to smile ;) I used to listen for the crows in my parents' woods, as that would usually mean they were pestering the great horned owl.
