    Wild Mile by Mac Austin

    Lots of rain in the past week. All snow melted. A lot of build-up of trash on the banks and in the 'lagoons' created by the floating islands of the WIld Mile due to no trash pick up by volunteers over the winter. Unusually smelly for a cold winter day. Many, many seagulls. More than I have seen there before.
