A River Sunrise Adventure

 Hullo! Today we are going on a hike adventure. We are searching for a good sunrise spot... FYI... these photos were taken in ... cough... April... cough. 

They're pretty insistent about this No Parking rule... the felt pen below says "Pick up after your dog!"... apparently you can step in a lot of dog doo-doo if you're not careful on this trail.

Now that's a good sign!!! Hah!

OK... we're through! This is the river estuary area... at highish tide...

Pretty, isn't it? But the sun is going to rise off to the right somewhere...

And there's a cute marsh on the other side... we can hear all sorts of birds, only one of which we recognize, the red-winged blackbird.

And here we are at the river... with... an art installation?? 

Hmmm... interesting... where is that water line??

Ooops... maybe not an art installation... there are some pilings here as well...

But they could be arty too!

Not hte sunrise spot we're looking for though...

Then we found this pine tree clinging on for dear life...

That could make a good sunrise picture too...

Hmmm... sit and wait here or?

Onwards!! The trail calls... so we went a bit further up river and found a nice log to sit on.

And we think the sun is going to come up any minute so we'll see it here...

... any minute now...

... just about there... why does this always take longer than expected????
