Sunday was a total bust, cold, rain alternating with snow. I curled up and watched TV, read and ate chocolate.
Today, Monday, I awoke to sunny, blue skies and twenty-seven degrees with a bit of wind. Loaded, ALL, of my camera equipment in the truck with high hopes of spotting some wildlife.
Threw the trash in the back of the truck and headed to the dump, a good place for scavengers and foragers. I guess this was not their day to frequent the dump. Drove back to the scenic overlook, where I had passed a few Eagles soaring. They had scattered, probably to the dump.
I went back through town and drove out to the Homer Spit. Drove past numerous Eagles soaring down the beach. Of course, they were where I was unable to pull over to the side of the road.
I parked at the end of the Spit and walked around for a bit. The sun was hot, but the wind was finding its way through every layer of clothing. I was able to catch an Eagle posing and a shot from Land's End across Kachemak Bay. From, May 5-9 they will have the 29th annual Shorebird Festival. Looking forward to that and the return of the Sandhill Cranes, some flying in from New Mexico.
I ordered a sandwich from, Mike's, and went to pick it up. I went part way out the Spit to a picnic area, the closest I could park to the Eagles I saw earlier. They never came close to me.
I was debating whether to check out some of the shops in town, decided not to.
I drove down East End Road looking for wildlife, it was not my day. Took a couple of scenic shots and drove home.
Now, I am going to rest a bit and then watch the NCAA Final game. I will be rooting for Gonzaga.
