Went down to the lagoons for a little kayak expedition. The last of the season. Sunny and clear and in the 60's. Not typical October weather, for sure. While down there had a close encounter with an Egret. They aren't normally down there, but they do pass through. There were a pair of them and this one let me get about 10 feet away and I had the pleasure of watching him go about his business for about 20 minutes. A couple of weeks ago there were some Sandhill Cranes out at the 7-mile mark. Never saw them in Erie before. I assume they were blown off course. Little gifts.
Usually when I go down I take a lot off pictures and they ultimately become paintings like those below.
