An After Dinner Walk

The weather has been unsettled. Today we woke up to clouds, which quickly settled into a steady rain from the south. Then around three it cleared up suddenly and we were able to enjoy the sun for a few hours.

We had a visit from Marion and Jim who are traveling the east after Marion’s 50th Graduation from Vassar celebration. Over glasses of wine, we discussed their next destination, Isle La Motte, just north of us and the local geology. For good measure, we discussed cellos and flutes, sunglasses and cameras, and when to meet up again.

Then the skies to the north blackened, and I added a fender and another spring line. The squall blew in as squalls do, dramatically. But we were lucky this time, after an hour it had blown through.

To help digest I took a walk around the marina’s environs with my camera and long lens. Below are the birds I was able to capture in the act of being birds.
