North Shore Quick Stop

A day promising
showers is not a favourite
in my little book!

I was up wandering around at 4 AM. Of course, it was rather dark outside and I had to wait to see what the light would bring. I made my pot of coffee and enjoyed it tremendously. At 7 I was out the door to find some breakfast. The next priority was my blip. 

I drove to the Schubert Drive Lookout with some hope of seeing beavers again today. No such luck. I did find a rather endearing pair of mallards. He gracefully slid into the river as I approached. He looked at me rather quizzically and then back at his lady on the shore. She in turn, looked back over her shoulder at me but stayed perfectly still. I don't know why mallards are so appealing. He is very handsome with his curled tail feathers and beautiful colouring. She looks like she has a smile on her face and is just so darned cute! 

I walked a bit on the Rivers Trail across from the school. I got a shot of my mountains and then one of the artist's poles. I left a quilted heart on a bench near the school. The sky looked grim so I decided to head for home while I was still dry. 

I'm home and puttering today. I have some crumb blocks to work on from Darlene Michaud's channel on YouTube. It's a great way to use up those little pieces of cotton fabric. 

It's a mixed day for weather. Surprisingly, the high today is listed as 18 C. I'm thinking that really isn't possible, but we'll see.
