The Wind to My Back; The Sun Overhead.
During the Spring it carries a number of challenges along with it, those are ignored until the time comes and decisions are to be made. This day it was enjoyable along with the knowledge the wind is neither friend nor foe and may turn it’s cold back on us with short notice.

I Look To See and concentrate on seeing what is out there.
Every day there is something new on or near the water I have never seen before that day. However there is on task for me to master each day after I take a look around. I must begin seeing in depth everything around me

This is Hawk Country.
We’re in the doldrums until the end of February there will be little activity until after nest building. But it’s a great time to work on other stuff, there is always plenty to do.

Hummingbirds.
It was as every morning is when I wake up excited to get up and out, it’s the excitement of greeting another day that wakes me a 4am then waiting for the first indication of dawn when my feet hit the deck.

Not all is Lost in the Fog.

Time to Create a Calendar
I have no desire to publish anything for sale, I’ve done that and I don’t like it one bit; I can no longer handle stress. But if I were to be asked or create a Calendar I would chose a theme a bit more relevant to the Culture of the Island.

Rain with Egrets.
Tomorrow we will wake up to steady rain, I will be inside most of the day. My photo session in the morning will be under the patio cover sheltered from the weather. Whether or not the critters will be out is anyones guess but one thing is for sure the air will be clean, a slight breeze will be up and the coffee will be hot.

Green Heron; The Character Actor.
