It’s the most wonderful time of the year.
May 31. Time to wake up early and hope you get treated to the very first sighting of the very first kit of the most amazing summer to come. Even now I wake up with a tingle. And I was delighted to receive these photos from Roland Dumas of Napa. Taken last night after 8:30.
Yes that is about the best thing a person will ever see in this miserable sorry excuse for a live filled with viruses and racism and riots. A kit getting a ride through the water on a parents shoulder is the best thing that will ever be. I’m not at all bias. Its a fact.
Unless you get a chance to see that kit swimming on their own in the big creek. Then THAT”s the very best thing you will ever see. It’s early in the year. I only every filmed one single kit in may. And in 12 years of watching I had to wait until June. What a blessed event. I can’t imagine a single thing I’d rather see.
Except this. I might want to see this too. From our friend in Scotland. Those are bluebells.
I can’t help remembering the Martinez saw its fair share of beautiful things. We got a longer time at the trough of beaver riches than most cities. This was from 2007 filmed by a very young, naive and surprised Heidi,
