I spent the day working... pretty simple. After work, I took a fast bike ride into town and back to get a little exercise. While biking, I remembered folks talking about the lake "one over" that had nesting loons. So, as soon as I got back, I took a quick stroll over and indeed found one; not sure where the other was hiding. On the way back to my apartment, the sky grew increasingly black. The whole afternoon was a series of 10-second "pineapple" showers, followed by clear skies, and I thought this was going to be another. Just as I stepped in the door, the lightening flashed, the winds picked up, and the water poured down. Great timing, eh? About 20 minutes later it was over, and some blue sky again appeared. I had a bite to eat and now I'm watching Finnish baseball. I think I about have it figured out. The only similarities are 4 bases, bats, a ball, and gloves.Birds of the day: Nightingale, Black-throated (arctic) Loon.
