Comments:  I had really trucked pretty good on the return from Lake Aloha, hoping to catch the hourly water taxi. I found I was early, so I decided to shoot from the pier. A bird decided to circumnavigate the pier and consequently appeared in multiple frames. It was hard as there was a lot of activity and people moving about, causing the pier to shift mid-shoot. No sooner than I wrapped it up than the sound of a outboard motor became audible. I rushed to put everything away and get ship-shape.
