Sunsets are generally more saxophone solos :-) The dancing heron is delightful. I've never heard of building with palm tree logs, but wonder why there wasn't more of it given the number of fallen palms after hurricanes. Interesting. I think your deer sent the hawk to thank you and bless your departure.
