Sunrise at Royal Roads
I forgot about the time change this morning, so my 7:45 a.m. walk became a 6:45 a.m. walk. It was a fortuitous mistake, as the morning light was soft and gentle. I saw a family of otters having breakfast in the lagoon. They were munching on a huge crab, but unfortunately the lens on my digital camera tops out at the equivalent of an 85mm telephoto, so they were just dots in the pictures I took.
Swans in the lagoon at sunrise.
The dock with birdhouses.
Another view of the dock. The specks on the pilings on the right are cormorants.
A wee waterfall in a brook in the woods. Because of the time change, I arrived at the campus cafeteria before it opened, so I explored a nearby trail in the woods for half an hour.
