Look up, and there they are!
Of course, they also come at you at sea level…
… and sometimes seem to think that the water is all theirs

Oh Gosh!, Johna. Your comment comes at a time when a visit to an eye hospital on Tuesday diminished my sight somewhat.
An over-enthusiastic doctor ‘lasared’ one eye and when questioned said afterwards “….to focus…”. I’m almost 78!!

Oops! Should have used an ‘e’….lasered :-)

Oh, I so like the first pic. It is dreamy. A belated thanks for doing the trip planning workshop with HarborLAB recently. I learned a lot. I have followed your blog for years and we have exchanged some mail about folding kayaks. Sure was nice to hear you you speak and share your experience. All the best, Diana Szatkowski

Oh no! Are they heading south already?!

I think this is an older photo, and possibly spring (based on the lighting). But yes, we are headed towards that time of year :-( :-( :-(

Johna, no need to rush it. I haven’t seen any head south yet. Isn’t that September and October? Odd how I can’t quite remember that. Thanks for clarifying. :-)
