Here comes summer..

This morning, Lynn being on a roll in the studio, Eddie and I took a break and walked halfway round the island. I missed a shot of some Canada geese, as the camera wasn't on standy at the critical moment, but I did catch this black-headed gull (one of a pair):

I also happened upon a yellow iris coming into flower - the first of the season and a true harbinger of summer on the islands. Soon there will be drifts of them, and I'll post a photo in due course.

Back at the ranch, I decided not to disturb Lynn, and started on the final module of my proofreading course. If I  thought that Monday's rescue mission was an adrenaline rush, my final proofreading assignment is a cascade..
