This morning I was lucky enough to swim the Rainbow river with an adventurous crowd. I heard conflicting reports regarding the distance: somewhere between 3.4 miles and 4.5 miles, but I was sore and tired at the finish. Of course, it helped that we swam downstream.

Back Out
I, obviously, have not been inspired to take or process any photos recently. In fact, I am so cozily nested into my new home that I don't get out and about much at all.
So, it was quite a treat to head down the street for sunset the other evening. This great blue heron insisted on posing for me right off shore.

Our National Bird
Bald Eagles have returned to their nest for the first time in several years. Their massive abode is perched in the top of the tallest dead tree in the entire neighborhood. I hope they stick around to raise some eaglets, but fear they may be driven off by the frequent harassment by other, smaller birds.
There are a lot of birds of prey in our neighborhood. Which makes roadkill cleanup unnecessary, because one kind of vulture or another will quickly descend to remove the problem.

Not So Safe
We have been feeling safe and confident spending time on our floating dock because it is a few feet above the water level. Not so much any more...
Swimming Buddies
Yesterday, Wally swam up to say, "Hi." He is getting friendlier all the time; soon we'll be swimming buddies.
A couple of Cormorants have been keeping him company in the water. I am amazed at how far they travel underwater, and how quickly. They love standing on our docks to dry their wings.
