The week started off with a beautiful day. Temperatures were near 18c making it a perfect day for a round of golf and a visit to Sunset Beach to see our favorite eagle pair. The golfing was fun although the course was pretty wet from the previous days rain. That was ok though as the game was really intended to shake off the cobwebs and get ourselves ready for the next couple of months. We met our friend Rick while checking out the eagles. He had seen our truck on the side of the road and came by for a nice chat. He showed us some of his photos that he had taken during the summer and fall season. He had some great shots!! It looks like one egg has hatched and the eaglet head has been seen above the nest already in search of food. It's going to be fun watching it grow.
The morning sunrise on the last day of the year was quite interesting. It didn't last long but I was able to capture the beautiful rays in the sky.
We enjoyed a quiet day on Tuesday. I took a nice long walk along the beach and wore shorts because the weather was so nice. They are working on new water runoff system which is being installed into the ocean. The work is noisy and you can hear it all up the beach. I don't think it will be a quiet winter here. Thankfully the noise is on and off and not steady all day.
Lawrence and Teresa arrive late in the afternoon on New Years eve. We spent the evening together and watched the fireworks on the beach. We had a front row seat to some of the displays as we watched from the balcony.
We went to Huntington for a few hours on the Thursday. Since the weather had turned colder there wasn't as many birds although it was still nice to be there.
At the end of the week we played a round of golf at Crow Creek all together. It turned out to be a beautiful day and we had fun. Afterwards we went to view the eagles for again. We didn't stay long as it was pretty windy making it cold and difficult to hold our cameras steady. I was able to get a few shots but most were blurry.
Sunday afternoon after church it was really sunny which made it nice to walk along the beach. I met up with Lawrence and Teresa while I was out and we walked together to check out the new water pipe being installed. Its quite a large structure that they have built just to bring the pipe into the ocean.
All in all it was a fun week.
