This week, we have been enjoying the annual visit of the ducks in the front ditch. It was during the same period in 2017, that we noticed the pair for the first time.
I am not
sure what they are foraging for in the ditch, I have read it could be anything from weeds, worms, slugs,
roots, frogs, insects, snails, crustaceans, and more ~ whatever it is, it certainly keeps them busy for two or three weeks every year ….
See them from a blog in April 2017, click on the image ...
With the low tide predicted to occur this afternoon at 12.37pm, I thought it would be a good idea to visit Sand Dollar Beach, which is located on the other side of the Lahave River from Pleasantville.
Visiting Sand Dollar when the tide is coming in and approaching its high is never a good idea, as most of the beach is under water. But when the tide is going out, the beach is considered a hot spot for sand dollars, sea shells, and other treasures that are usually left behind ~ unfortunately none were found today, that could be added to my collection.
After a
Sand Dollar wander, I went off to Hirtles Beach, where the waves were putting
on a grand show. After this, I took my favourite route home via the high seas on the LaHave Ferry.
Below are today’s
pics, with two others, one showing part of my “treasure” collection and another with a Sand Dollar ....

This morning was a two beach wander with the first stop at Crescent then afterwards onto Rissers. At both beaches there appeared to be a certain level of swiftness to the tide, it seemed to be in a hurry to get to its late afternoon high long before it should. Above me, the clouds looking rather intriguing and heavy, while the water had lots of choppy movements, which offered some interesting highlights, all this made me think it may be a good black and white outing …..
