George & I have come here many times, & love it every time.
Patterns galore, new discoveries, & the on-going presence of surf, tides, & walks in fresh air.
This time, because we were here for the 2nd August full moon, the blue one, we have had extraordinary low tides. I have been able to explore a bay around a point to the east of us. It has many rock slots. Well, that's what I call them. Some are cavernous, some are pathways to adventures I don't dare to have, & some lead up hill.
I have also been able to have a really good look at Life on the Rocks.
This one shows the amazing gooseneck barnacles in a colony, part of which is exposed by some event.
Surprises on the beach.
In that photo the critters below the crab are very small shells, slightly larger than a pill capsule. They make all kinds of patterns in the sand as they feed. Snail calligraphy!
I found a set of wheels. I think of them At the Surprising End of the Road.
This is the first time out here I have run into a migration. The birds in question are Sanderlings, the little ones, & Greater Yellow Legs are larger & darker, both shorebirds heading for South America.
Their footprints were everywhere! 1000 or so on this beach alone.
Finally George & his brother, Alan at sunset last night.
And yours truly the night before.
That's it for now.
