She got away from me.






Later Rick went out with his Neilpryde Glide. Ripped it up. He smokes upwind and downwind on it.

Nice photos. I like the turkey vultures. They have been swooping my deck here in Sonora.

We also have a couple of these guys that have made the CLSA cove their waterbnb. They've been here a few weeks waiting on the next cold air blast to send them to Florida. When they leave it's a bad sign.

Not my photo. American White Pelican. Second biggest wingspan to the California Condor.

Then it's time to follow them to Florida.
