Just words, I'm afraid. Here's what we did on August 1.

Burke's Canoe trip! We saw a huge white carp like a torpedo barrelling upstream, a turtle sunning itself on a tree trunk in the river, many blunted dragonflies, [break for fab picnic lunch]......floating chunks of brown foam, a silver-blue egret......an eagle that flew out of a tree and caught a catfish in his talon (soon joined by another eagle who gave him a lecture about sharing), a family of ducks, a vulture, a guy from Korbel riding a tractor, and finally the bus to bring us back to the car.

Drinks & Gin Rummy at the golf course alongside the faded remains of Runaround Sue, who waits blearily for Vernon or Richard or whoever she's currently married to to finish chasing that crazy white ball around.
