No, I think it was one I took a couple of nights ago, then forgot about.... getting forgetful.<br /><br />BG - the sun rose today at 5:14 and will set tonight at 10:39 but we have really long twilight hours before it comes up and after it goes down. On the longest day of the year (this coming Saturday), it stays light until after midnight, and the sky starts to lighten again around 3 am. I love it!!<br /><br />Sagan - It was wonderful to see the mother and fawn - I just wish I could have gotten a better picture!
