Break Time

My husband thinks I'm crazy.  Well, maybe just a little.  I had to go to the dentist today.  I have kept our same dentist that we had since we lived downtown.

I like her and all but the main reason is that she is near the Edmond's Ferry terminal where the Brant Goose migrate through in search of it's favorite food, eel grass.

   

Sure, it's takes an hour and a half to get there but it's worth it to me.  This year though I missed them both times.  My teeth cleaning was in February and while they have been here as early as February they were not there the day I had them cleaned.  Then, today I needed my last two silver filling replaced.  I knew it was probably too late.  They always come through mid April but I thought there might have been stragglers.

There was lots of ell grass but only a few young Glaucous-winged Gulls and a Mallard drake.

This is what I was hoping to see.

The tide was out so there was lots of stuff stranded on the sand.

This is a sea sponge.

This rock was only about 1" across and just look at all the barnacles living on it.

Later I went for a walk with Dave in the Narbeck wetlands area near where he works and while we didn't see any ducks we did see several frogs.

So, a nice relaxing day away from the computer, wood and house stuff.

You know if your dental hygiene depends on the migration patterns of the Pacific Brant Goose....

It was a beautiful day for wildlife viewing -- probably not so much for filling replacement.
