A little boat and an orange (clementine)

The Margaret B (or possibly D, I couldn't tell) looks just like the bigger cargo boats that go to and from the gas rigs, only smaller.


Closer to shore: the water under the pier was extra murky today with lots of floaty plant bits. Also, someone lost a clementine.

Random Shorebird


Saw this bird standing on the rocks today. Don't know what it is.

The peas are flowering!

Just noticed the flowers today.


The pea plants have grown up really fast since I first noticed them at the beginning of June. Here's where they were about a month ago. They were about halfway to top of the pier bridge rail then.


And this was late last week. They're taller than the pier bridge rail now.


I think this year when it turns into lots and lots of pods, maybe I'll harvest a few and see how they do in a stir fry.

An Egret

Today there was an egret standing in the shallows next to the gazebo.


It's probably fishing. There's a lot of fish in that area.
