We’re in the period of almost summer. The State Park is open, the lifeguard stations are out on the beach, and the mats at the walkways are back, but the visitors have yet to show up. This meant we could head to the beach this afternoon for a walk without too much difficulty. While out, we ran into this adorable bunch, a group of female eiders with their chicks. They were mostly just bobbing about in the shallows, although, like human children some of the chicks seemed to enjoy a clamber on their Mom.
On the way home, we ran into an extraordinary amount of traffic, which turned out to be folks heading home after high school graduation. Yet another sign that summer is on its way.
