Female Merganser at Point Lobos

I’m hurtling towards the day of reckoning that day the yoke is broke. There are only nine more work days left or maybe even less, depending upon how much more leave I take. Anyway, two more week no matter how you slice it. I’m kind of feeling like the pictured Merganser, a little dazed and confused, she I suspect got a little banged up by the surf that day, which was pretty high and when I photographed her, she was kind of hunkered down. She seemed totally unfazed by either Anne or I as we clambered over the rocks near her, but don’t worry about me dear readers, I’ll gird my loins and hike-up my big boy panties and be ready for the big day when it comes and more importantly for what lies beyond. Although, because of this transition, the house is a mess, hence this post’s tittle and the fact that I have learned a new idiom, but I suspect that things will straighten themselves out pretty soon.
