September 30 x 30 Day 20

This Hooded Crow has already started to molt. He was difficult to capture but he's kinda cute! Lots of pickings on the floor of the Horsha, dates and pecans.

Light patterns on the ground. Every time I go to make some more shots of the "horsha" I am amazed at the varying patterns of light as they play on the ground beneath the trees, I usually go there late afternoon because that's Lilly's favorite space, and that's when the light plays.  Sometimes she meets with one of the other neighborhood dogs, Creambo or Snow.  I always, most always, bring my regular camera to get some more shots. I will be putting up most of the references on my Flickr account, probably after the challenge. I shoot in RAW and love to fiddle around in photoshop finding new effects, especially with the Topaz filters. With this challenge my photography and sketching meet.
