1. A flock of birds -- chacking and calling to each other -- whirls across the late afternoon sky, moving like a single creature.
2. With one eye on the sky and one on my work, I note the moment day turns to night. It's not the sky that tells me though -- it's my computer changing from cold light to warm.
3. Across the pub, near the door, jolly people are holding fans of red playing cards.
