Last night's view, which was the same as tonight except it was less dusty and smokey and windy. Tonight I saw a sea monster but just dismissed it as following waves with strange crests and shadows.. then several minutes later I saw the head again and it was not the waves! It was just a river otter that found things to eat in that area of the water. A hummingbird was catching bugs, an oriole looking for the last mulberries, a cool breeze.
