Hi:
Still with rain, haze and clouds, so I had to keep hunting the Sun for seconds through haze and clouds before lunch.
Here are the results, it sure is hard to record the videos with constant changes in ilumination because of the clouds passing by.
Thanks for looking and have a nice Sunday.

I like these FD images. Too bad the sun is so quiet.
