date morning

daybreak in the marsh
we saw a new pair of white - tailed kites
thrilling to see them take up residence here.

and we saw the fox, sly fellow that he is
didn't know we were there to watch
as he steathily tip toed by...
(no photos, he's too quick)

hunting here

crossing through the marsh, landing on the sea shore
we pulled out our stand up paddle boards for a near perfect
paddle up the coast. grinning to each other as we passed the
house we were married at six years ago today.

and then, dolphins came (how do they know we wish for them?)
to escort us back home. the video i've included down below
was taken a couple years ago, (from my kayak previously, neither of us
had cameras out in the ocean yesterday) but this is how it was.
so exciting, it makes me cry everytime.

stopping to see a group of sanderlings

happy anniversary dear husband.

love, lori
