Day 315 2016: And so the sun rose...

Day 315: ...but we couldn't see it...

...for the clouds, or the BIRDS!

Hitchcockian. Perhaps appropriate. 

It is apparent the days are getting much shorter and the photo ops out the window are diminishing with each passing day. And after yesterday's momentous changes, one was looking for the requisite calm in the sky on the water, anywhere really. And it was like that, initially. 
Cloudscape with wisp

Cloudscape with scope


And then, from nowhere, they came in their hundreds, well, maybe tens, but lots of them. 


Then they came...

Past the window, over the railway

Over the water

Then they were gone.

I've not seen anything like that. Perhaps it was the first flight to safety from America. Some days have their quirky moments. Today was one of them.
