Another sign of spring--an arriving SeaRey, Lindsay Trittipoe's. <br /><br />On the end of the pier are two examples of local fauna: a female osprey guarding her nest and a female human observing her--or observing the SeaRey. Or peering toward Spain, I can't tell which.

A present-day clipper ship came up the channel that same day, heading for the lift bridge. It's about 1.5 miles from the camera.<br /><br />There may be yellow pollen on everything, but Buzz Island (middle distance, with no trees) has yet to green up. Probably next week. Buzz Island makes a great LVR on glassy-water days. <br /><br />Buzz Island is so named because there used to be an airport here, W89 (Hopewell). Our house is on the approach end of runway 26. <a href="http://www.airfields-freeman.com/VA/Airfields_VA_Richmond_S.html#hopewell">http://www.airfields-freeman.com/VA/Airfields_VA_Richmond_S.<br>html#hopewell</a>

That is lovely stuff, Don (on the river, not on you plane!). Did you play in it? I'd love to scribble in it with a SeaRey on step!<!-- >'"><br><font color=red size=6>' or > missing in user HTML. Please fix the HTML.</font> -->
