We were enticed down to the shore by this groovy old fishing boat.
Gracie was happy to stretch her legs.
We spotted a number of bald eagles fishing in the ebbing tide. Here are three scouting out the prospects - the brown mottled one is a juvenile.
We were told that they were feeding on midshipmen, a small bullhead-like fish. It was amazing to see them dive and scoop their dinner out of the water, although this guy preferred to just reach in and grab.
Gracie met a playmate and they chased each other back and forth.
It wouldn't be a beach walk with Heather if I didn't include a shot of rock formations. The fractured black shale shore is so different from the smooth sandstone of home.
On the way back Gracie had a drink from a shady forest pool.
And then conked out on our host's couch. She seems right at home!
I did get some stitching done on this trip, and will have photos soon.
Thanks for another delightful walk on the beach!
ReplyDeleteLove those rocks.
ReplyDeleteI love your rock pictures, so go ahead with them!
ReplyDeleteHello Heather! It's been a while since I have checked your blog, I have started one of my own, and lots has happened. My husband had a stroke Thanksgiving week, and quadruple bypass surgery Jan. 10th. My gallbladder decided to attack me, and I had to deal with that pain until Feb, when the husband got his driving privileges back. I had surgery on Feb. 22nd. So it was a mother of a winter, and I am glad its over!
ReplyDeleteHope you are well, and your photos are lovely.
