We went canoeing Saturday close to the University of Washington. Lucky for us, we had our own canoe, and didn't have to wait in line to rent a canoe. Evidently, from the announcements on the PA system, there were more than a hundred people waiting. | | There's lots of bird life around there--it's kind of a wetland area. Heron... |

...LOTS of Canadian geese (a big pest around here) | | ...and I think this was a young bald eagle. Eric, however, thought it wasn't. Who was right? I was. |

Here's another heron, this time with Mt. Rainier in the background. | | There's some really beautiful waterfront houses around this area, called the Laurelhurst area. |

Ended up not doing that, just walking around. For some reason, Eric's beard had a session of really heavy growth right around then. See below. |
