Studies in gray

It's been dark and rainy in Austin, but I went out this morning and found a bright haze instead of low clouds.

Here's a mockingbird on a gate in the back yard.



And here's a plane low overhead, a bit away from the regular flight path of the airport ten miles away. Unlike most commercial aircraft it is not brightly painted with a corporate logo. I thought it was pretty, silvery in the thinning clouds. But it does have a corporate logo: when I looked at the photo in its original resolution could I make out the insignia and "Navy" on the side of the plane.
