Looks like another rainy day. Rain or no rain, I’m out paddling by 0630 hrs. This morning I’m concentrating on the north shore. I’d spotted a Blue Heron fishing nearby, and managed to get this one shot before it flew.

I was hoping to see Sandhill Cranes this morning, but they didn’t show up. I did, however, spot this Stellar’s Jay and got this one shot.

So, I paddled on up the shoreline, looking for anything of interest. Suddenly, I spotted a doe standing as if frozen, staring at me. I slowly got out my camera and was able to get quite a few shots.

Eventually, she decided I was just a little too close for comfort and turned tail and headed for the trees.

So, I headed for the next point, looking for wildflowers. We’ve had our hummingbird feeder up since we got here, and haven’t seen one hummer. I figure they must be sipping nectar from wildflowers instead; but, I hadn’t seen any wildflowers either, until now.

Finally, the rain let up and it looked like we might get a bit of sun today.  As I was heading back to the boat, I spotted Mr. Clean. He was busy bathing and paid me no mind at all.
