look around from work

Today I'm running from one courthouse to the other, usual busy day of too much to do and too many places to be. At one point, the highway crosses a creek at the point it empties into Puget Sound. I glance over and notice a lot of big, black birds with white heads standing around. This I gotta see: I pull off the road at the overlook. Sure enough, there's at least a dozen bald eagles out on the delta, feasting on the tail end of the chum salmon run.

I live in a place where whales and bald eagles are fairly common; one of the most beautiful places on Earth. I have to remember that as I scramble to keep up with my life.
