Walkies 2 On the sunny side...

So out of the woods and into the sunshine.  Decided to walk on the beach instead of the walkway.  The sun was really warm and had me shedding my jacket pretty quick.  Big temperature difference between the woods and the seaside.

 

 
I love the smell of the salty sea and seaweed.

 
Another calm sea.  I will have to remember these times when winter comes.

  

 

 
Ducks were active today...making duck noises.

 

 

 

 
You can see the Quadra Island Ferry in the distance...about a 20 minute trip.

  
I wonder what sized wave threw this up on the beach.

 

 
Bird tracks...almost looks like the markings of an ancient language. :)

 
Like yeah, I take pictures of bird tracks on the sand.

  

 
I saw a couple of seals swim by, but they ducked their little heads so no picture for me.  I really do need a new 35mm digital camera with a telephoto/zoom lens.  It's on my wish list. :)

 
Now this is really GREEN algae covering the rocks.  So bright in the sunshine.

 
And the ducks were busy feeding.

 
Now, somebody tell me what this slimy rubbery thing is.  It's about the size of a turkey platter and really gross.  I've seen jelly fish before, but this didn't really look like that.

  
Interesting carving on a log...guess someone wanted to leave a footprint of his/her passing. 

 

 
There's that funny mountain top...looks like the top of a Stetson hat.  I will have to get a map or chart of all the mountain peaks I see.  I'm sure they all have names.

 

Cormorant enjoying the sunshine too as he dries his wings after diving for fishes.

So I had a very enjoyable walkabout this morning, but had to get back to work before they called out the brigades that I went missing.  sigh.....   Until next time, MO
