Over the weekend, I took a break from Doom-Scrolling and went with Mark to Delta Ponds. Although the evenings and nights have been overcast and rainy, we've been having clearish mornings. It's been months since I've been.
Mostly, we saw coots, geese, cormorants, ducks, and heron. We even managed to spy a hummingbird. Off in the distance, a bald eagle perched -- probably over the Willamette in hopes of catching a fish. We saw no beavers, although Mark saw a nutria through his binoculars.
Because it was only about ninety minutes after sunrise when we got there, and because most of the leaves are off of the trees, the structure of branches struck me several times and I wished I had a loom or the graphic design ability to create a screen from the repeating patterns.
Later in the afternoon, before the sky became completely overcast, I got up on roof and took down the holiday star.
Unfortunately, I did much too much Doom-Scrolling Sunday.
