Red, Red Redbelly at Quiet Waters

I’d hate to be a weatherman around here. Predictions were all over the map, so I did some chores and helped out a friend with a computer project before heading to Quiet Waters and Truxtun Park to see what I could find.
There was plenty of Sun (and wind) for a while, and I got a few good images before the darkening skies convinced me to quit.
