Rambled to the river with Bill. He patiently waited for shots with his long lens while I walked the rocks and made cairns. The sun was shining and it was so peaceful and lovely.
I was startled by a snake. A long snake. Bill took its portrait.
We packed sandwiches and drove the length of Howland Hill Road stopping for short walks along the way. Zipped through Crescent City back to a nap in Brave Horatio.

A game of cribbage and goat stew rounded out our day.
Our across the road neighbors are on a six-week camping trip—LA to Canada. Nice ladies with two big dogs (Pearl was the one with the pink sweater.)
