R. has not looked at a mountain since we boarded. He has looked at the railway: the spiral tunnels, where the line doubles back on itself inside the rock to gain height. He had a man in the vestibule draw it for him. He has explained it twice to our table c…

June 10-12, Vancouver, three nights. The big park with the totem poles and the sea wall; the market on the island under the bridge; on the 11th the ferry to Victoria and back, an hour and a half each way among islands. That ferry gave me five new birds from the ra…

The Fourth, fourteen of us, hot. Two loon chicks this year, both riding.
Hannah set up an easel at the end of the dock on Friday evening and painted until she could not see: the dock itself going out into the water, and the far shore, and the light that comes at about eight. R. looked at it for a long time and asked whether he could buy it. She said it was not for sale, and then that it wa…
