Thin on the ground

Lately my posts have more photos than content and there is a reason for that. I've not been in town much, due to rain, haven't been on the streets much, due to dinghying, so what you get from me is pretty insular to my yard, my water roads to town and this side of the hill. It's about to get a whole new shift as I start housesitting for a friend I've never housesat for, for the next couple of weeks. Her description of the critters has me a little nervous, including dogs, cats, chickens and visiting bats. Not visiting inside, I was assured. Yes, yes, I know, they eat mosquitoes. I'm delighted, truly. So life should get interesting in new ways, starting tomorrow.

But since I'm still working on yesterday, here is some of that. I wish I could have gotten a photo of the sardines jumping into my dinghy and leaping over the dock, but I'm not that fast. It was pretty strange and funny though. Like an idiot, I threw them back in instead of keeping them for bait...I know, I wasn't thinking. They just looked so...well, if you've ever had a goldfish, I need say no more. If you've never had a goldfish and plan on having one, don't give your heart away to it or them, like I did with Simon and Garfunkel, lo those many years ago. Trust me, it will only end in tears.

The sardines were driving the pelicans crazy. It was a beautiful thing.
