Waiting for Warm Weather at the Amistad NRA

It was a very long and cold last couple of days.  The high temperatures never crested over 44°F on Saturday or even 41°F on Sunday!  Overcast skies added to the gloomy feel as I sheltered inside the VRRV, catalytic propane heater keeping me nice and warm.  As usual, inside days are cleaning days so at least I got the VRRV cleaned up.

Finally, today, things started to warm up a little bit starting around 2:00 PM or so.  The sun was even visible, shining through gaps in the clouds at first then warming things up nicely for about an hour and a half.  

However, the clouds moved in again and though it was 52°F only by 4:30 PM, it felt colder to me whenever the breeze would pick up.  

Today's sunset was well underway when I motored out to the spot I'd picked out at the water's edge where Texas Hwy Spur 406 ends.

The clouds really masked the setting sun so instead I went for reflection/artsy shots of Yagi:



Today's high temperature was 56°F according to my weather app instead of the forecasted 62°F.   Tomorrow is forecasted to have a high of 70°F!  I hope that proves correct.

Like the light reflections, I enjoy seeing you play around with light. What you can capture can be pleasantly surprising.
