I didn't make it to the Viewpoint today, and now the sun is about to set. The sky was mostly gray today, as it has been so many days this year. I always say I like gray skies, but if every sky is gray, even in the late spring or early summer, you don't appreciate a gray sky as something special. I hope tomorrow is sunny for a change.

One can observe birds of a large number of species in and around the parks below the Viewpoint. Let's start with the crows. Sometimes huge numbers of them congregate in the treetops just below the Viewpoint, making a terrific racket. I'm always fascinated by this. They're very active in the cemetery across the street, too.
