Traveling North

Desolation Sound is a beautiful area of water, islands, harbors, wildlife and lots of other boaters enjoying the beauty, too. We've seen lots of eagles, and other birds. I watched three separate mother mergansers with their babies in tow, going across various distances of water. The first mama had 17 babies! I couldn't believe it! She seemed to keep track of all of them, even the one (there's always one) who kept lollygagging behind.

Walking through Campbell River yesterday, I saw some paintings that were done with watercolor and heavy black ink lines. I bought some black ink and I'll be experimenting with that tomorrow. Good thing the sun rises to early, I feel that hum inside that I guess all artists feel when something has captured our attention!
