Back from Dungeness Recreation Area
Lovely to wake up near the bluff view of the water, hear loons and ravens, and many, many cedar waxwings, chickadees, nuthatches, and more.
Lovely to spend an hour or two drawing a the picnic table.
Lovely to wander for hours with my binoculars in beautiful sunny fall weather and surroundings: woods, grassy meadow, mountains in the distance.
Even nice to hear & see the groups of hobyahs (oh, I mean lively loud children) out experiencing nature at the top of their lungs!
