The weather looks promising this morning, with patches of blue sky here and there.  As I set out on my paddle, it is nearing low tide.

As I hugged the shore, where the current wasn’t as swift, I spotted a mink scouring the rocks for goodies.  

Apparently, he’d never seen such a creature, so as much as his instincts told him to run, his fascination got the better of him.  He couldn’t figure me out.

Ominous rain clouds were approaching, so I had to cut my paddle short.  But, before I turned around, I spotted this eagle way up in the top of a tree.  It was a long shot, but I took it anyway.
