Diptych: Tingley Beach Ponds

This just might be my last autumn leaves entry for the season.  (Don't everyone breathe a sigh of relief at once ;-)  Extra: Grebe? Cormorant?

We leave tomorrow (courtesy of BiL and Sil) for an AEP, 5-day, National Geographic cruise of the Channel Islands (situated 25 miles offshore), SW of Los Angeles...in the blue Pacific. I do not know what kind of connectivity we will have out there.   

I do know gale force winds are predicted for Sunday-Tuesday.  Yikes!!
Hang onto your hats, blip mates, and have a wonderfully calm weekend.
