Thanks all for the nice comments. Yeah, there's still a lot of snow on the mountain tops up there, we had a several weeks of rain earlier in June. The water was FREEZING!!! Of course, fuzz head didn't seem to care, as long as he's in water he's happy! I love the shot where all you can see is his head, I have one where he's WAY out there, but it would be hard to see in the small format pics have to be on this site.
Marit, you're a good mom to stay home and take care of your kids and try and help unfortunate animals. Don't worry, there will be plenty of time in your life to get out and enjoy nature. It a dedication for us to go up there, 3 hours both ways! Done it so many times that now it's no big deal.
Pndlake, we wanted to give Drake a very Marin name. His official name is CH Bacchanal's Sir Anakin Drake. We dropped the Francis part and added Anakin because I'm a Star Wars fan and that movie's roots are so based in Marin. George Lucas himself babytalked Drake at a stoplight in Fairfax a year or so ago. You went to Drake huh? Did you know a guy named Erik Ruud? I thought those big scottish poles were called "cabers", aren't "capers" just the pickled juniper berries that you put on top of a lox and cream cheese bagel?
And Coonie, yes, Drakey don't like coons, but I'm sure he would LOVE you!!!
