Was a little iffy early this morning as to whether we would be able to get the walk in since it was sprinkling when I got out of the car for the meeting. Luckily the showers waited until we were finished.

We picked up three new people this morning since mention was made at the meeting about our group walking. They are Judy Shehan and Martha & Rodney Cribbs. I did not get the e-mail address for the Cribbs and have copied you my e-mail to Judy. Judy is the one standing next to Deborah.

Julie was there, but had left before we arrive since we were a little late leaving the meeting. I'm assuming she walked her usual.

Susan waited until 7:15 and since no one had arrived as yet she started without us. She passed Deborah and Marie on her way back from 60 and caught up with me on my way back. I did my usual to the round-about.

I FINALLY got pictures of the Rosette Spoonbill as well as our resident Ospreys, etc. Imagine my surprise when I looked at the one of the sun trying to break free of the clouds and discovered I had also captured a Dragonfly.

The three new walkers did not go to 60 but instead crossed Brandon Pwy. and headed down to Lumsden then on back to the starting spot. As I said in the e-mail to Judy, I clocked it at 2.2 miles total.
