Blue Sky Day

I was fortunate that the only side effect from my vaccinations yesterday was a little arm soreness at the spot of the shots.

So I took advantage of the weather to head back to Angler’s Inn and the Potomac. Sarah came along to get out on the Billy Goat trail.

We both enjoyed the weekday with fewer folks out. There were a couple folks going downstream, towards lock 10, and I saw one downriver boater coming down through the rapids at Anglers.

And I think we both saw this same heron, at different times. He didn’t let me get much closer before taking off — and maybe finding a spot on the canal to be spotted by Sarah.

The water level remains low, about 2.75 feet; surely an effect of the almost drought conditions we’re in. The big storm we expected earlier this week generally stayed to our east, so still not much rain in a while.

But I’m not complaining about the beautiful, blue skies!
