It has been .....
……
34 days, since I was last on the beach.

reason ~ far too much spring work. Along with this time of the year, comes all the
after winter chores which includes, cleaning windows, garden work, moving eight

So my favourite pastime of coastal wanders was
temporarily put on hold.
Today’s
conditions were perfect for a return to Crescent Beach in bright and very warm
sunshine, with an extremely high tide.

For the first time ....

backyard.
We have always known they were in the forest, but today is the first time they have ventured out. Rather exciting and nice ~ at least until they start to munch on the veggies later in the summer …!!!!

Cattle by the water ...
A
drive down the coast today and a stop at very windy Beach Meadows, which looked very big and
wide at low tide. Close by were a few cattle out grazing by the water.

Stuff on trees, stuff on the beach ...
In
bright sunshine and approaching high tide, I was out and about this afternoon
at Rissers and the Islands admiring some of nature's creations …
Sea
foam, something I didn’t know courtesy of Wikipedia ~
Sea
foam is a type of foam created by the agitation of seawater, particularly when
it contains higher concentrations of dissolved organic matter derived from
sources such as the offshore breakdown of algal blooms. These compounds can act
as surfactants or foaming agents. As the seawater is churned by breaking waves
in the surf zone adjacent to the shore, the surfactants under these turbulent
conditions trap air, forming persistent bubbles that stick to each other
through surface tension.
