Waderless



Typhoons, workload and various minor health ailments have kept me off the beaches this August more than I would have liked.................

Not what I was expecting


Another typhoon hit Hokkaido meaning grey skies and rain.................and we had several (small) earthquakes last night too.

Moulting


A family of scruffy moulting Goosander are on the river at Kamiiso every summer. They can't fly at the moment and if they need to move quickly they thrash and paddle away in a flurry of stubby wings and splashes........it seems to be effective in a desperate kind of way and they just about get the job done. Probably some metaphor in there somewhere.

The heat/humidity seems to have receded slightly...........hopefully not just a temporary respite.
