Return to Wood Lake. Saw this large owl (Northern Hawk Owl?) but the photo quality is poor because of weak light - 10 minutes before sunrise, in the woods.

Best Coyote shot so far. They see me coming long before I see them and usually run away.

Santos

A trip to the seaside today to visit South America's busiest port - Santos.

Took the ferry to Santa Cruz dos Navegantes, which is a small and rather poor town across the bay.

This is a typical Brazilian supermarket, with plenty of Yoki products.

Also on this side of the estuary is the Barra Grande Fort, dating back to the 16th century.

Football is everywhere, even the dogs play.

Had a (late) lunch at these two places.
