Picnic on th Beach

This fellow sweem to have caught a large fish of some sort and put on the beach to eat at his leisure.Notice that the beach here, like much fo the beach around here is covered in shells.

Lots of Eagles!

Every spring, there is a small fish called a midshipman that breeds in the Big Beef Creek near Seabeck WA. This is on the Kitsap peninsula where the creek empties into the Hood Canal. In May-June each year these fish move from the creek into the canal and this requires that they swim through some shallow water along the entrance to the tidal canal. This in turn, attracts hungry birds, especially bald eagles.

Seaweed, Rocks, and Pools of Water

When we visited Cannon Beach, the tide was out and much of the shallow sea life was laid bare. There are rocks with seaweed exposed on them and small crustaceans found int the pools.

Cannon Beach

Not far south of Seaside is the popular Cannon Beach. It is famous for the sea stacks and the sandy beach. The town is a real tourist attraction with all the trappings.

Construction and a Bathe

Sometings in the course of an intricate and delicate construction phase, it is necessary to have more than two or three hands to insure success. In such cases, both feet are used to stabilize the foundation.

More Kites

The great thing about the sea breeze is that it is constant in direction and speed. This makes managing a kite a delight.

KItes

With a stiff breeze about, kites were in order.
