January 21
January 21, 2008 by OrientSee.
An even colder night followed by a bright day. The smaller ditches are iced up so the ducks and geese are further out in the open water. There were definitely fewer small birds in sight. The mockingbird who thinks that he is cat showed up again today. A Great Blue Heron flew by in the distance. It was like watching a jumbo jet cruise by. This piece of flotsam was resting in the grass and the rich rust color was a delight. I’m not sure why this piece of timber was so wrapped up in chains. It surely is not attached to anything now. Nearby one of the ditches narrows suddenly and makes a right angle turn. When the tide is running fast, Charybdis appears. Charybdis is the mythological monster that we call a whirlpool. This whirlpool doesn’t swallow ships but it is fascinating to watch. Shard of ice bounce up and down as they are swept up and down into the whirlpool. With the sun bouncing off the ice it makes for a great light show.
Ciao!
