Pretty little thing

 

Fishing for the day

The rain was on the way

 

Getting darker

 

There it is……

 

Came down hard

 

Soaked the aft deck in seconds

 

Then it was gone

 

Young tern

 

Expert fisherbirds

 

Fly in small flocks

Isolated

 

Birds on the hunt

 

A marker neat the lagoon's entrance

 

The pilot leaves

Rewarded with a fairly good sunset

 

Few people stayed to watch it

 

It was dinner time

 

Going down across the lagoon

 

Fewer isles out here

 

Just about down

 

Clouds picking up the color

 

Disappearing behind the clouds

 

Soon to set

 

About as good as it got

 

Darkness will follow

 

The rain had stopped

 

Too many clouds now

 

End of the day
