Driftwood Sculpture
At the fabulous Sandpiper Restaurant. Very nice form, well edited & presented. All the decor there was first-cabin. And the food! OH, MY GOD! The food was Heavenly! Well, it was good. Lovely view of the bay. And our waiter, Michael was very charming. Look, up above; he took a picture of us.
Horse Trough
On the Gilliam Creek Trail above Armstrong Woods. I liked the gelid algae in the water.
Later that day, all of Nature turned against me.

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.
