Glorious, warm sunshine all day today, and we were out in it early. Cin and I took a slow walk through James Bay and out to the water along Dallas Road, stopping often to sit on a bench and soak up the rays. Cindy's not at full health yet but is determined to build up some stamina.
there was also an ocean canoe that I couldn't quite get into frame!
At every stop along Dallas Road we spotted a hummingbird, sitting on the tiniest branch, the hovering above it before dive bombing down and out of sight. I could watch them all day.
Cin turned for home on Douglas Street and I continued on to Cook Street, hoping to stop and listen to the songbirds in the bushes at Beacon Hill Park. I got an even better treat, as I spotted two bald eagles near the Big Totem. One was perched on top and the second on a tree right next to the huge pole. They were so high up that my camera phone couldn't capture their size and majesty, but Lord knows I tried.
I went for another walk downtown in the afternoon, still in sunshine, still warmer than I have been in a long while. I didn't really want to go home, but by 3pm ol' Sol's angle was so shallow that he wasn't throwing much heat, so I headed for home very, very content.
