We've made it to our 'safe place' - Agonda! It's been a very lazy time here, but I've had time to take some pics.
With some nice English folks, we met we went for the obligatory 'boat trip up the local river.' A number of local guys will take you up the river in a push-boat (like punting down the Thames....well, sort of).
You get a chance to ride up a shallow and quiet river to check our local birds & wildlife that hang out along the river. We did get to see a number of different birds along the route, pointed our & identified by the boatman. Didn't get too many pics, as I would have needed a longer lens, but, for example, of the three different kinds of Kingfishers I did get a few shots, but clear ones only of one type. There were even a couple of river otters playing along the banks.
I'm not sure how well these blog posts work on cellphones, even with a Google phone. I'd recommend a computer viewing.
Anyhoo, here are some pics!

| Ah yes, the 'Romantic River Trip' |

| The inlet was a bit shallow this time of day. |

| Always work going on with maintaining fishing nets. |
Some of the ocean-going fishing boats on the river for storage & maintenance
Enjoying the photos Dave, colourful boats and birds. It snowed here today, and more coming.

Hi C! Thanks! We heard about some snow showing up in Victoria as well...I assume a lot less, tho. Hope you are keeping well & having some good times. Getting hotter here & we're heading north in a week+.
