A glimpse of leather

Saw a bat as I was getting ready to let Rufus out to do his thing. I hadn't opened the door yet. A large flying insect was beating it's wings around the front porch light, and from behind the sliding glass doors in the kitchen I saw a sudden blur of flapping leathery wings. The bat half circled the light , then snatched it's prey and vanished into the dark up in the palm trees just as I opened the door.

Startling, but very cool.
