Day 4 - 23 June 2009

Raining all morning and I was tired so I hunkered in the tent til around 12:30pm. In the afternoon, I explored my home a bit more, with some measurements and a lot of pictures and ooohing and wowing and smiling. This place is so beautiful. Love the moss and the birch bark and the filtered light through the trees and the rain droplets on the leaves and the reflections on the pond.
Stalked little birdies, trying to get a photo. Saw a Pintail Duck take off from the pond's edge, listened to three or four different bird calls mixing into the prettiest little medley.
So happy was I, traipsing around, I didn't notice til later that my forehead was stinging and covered with around fifty mosquito bites and a bit swollen. I laid my wet T-shirt over it and that helped soothe it a bit. Made a funny photo at least!
In the early evening, I walked to the end of Comsat Road and took photos of the giant disc belonging to AT&T now. If only my cell phone had battery power, I'm sure I'd have great reception.
It rained off and on throughout the four days I was here. Mostly overcast skies although on Sunday it was sunny with blue skies for a good chunk of the day.
