Great Blue Heron

On the other side of the peninsula from the foggy beach is a much wider beach area and, as you may recall from the earlier visit, there are tide pools there with small creatures in them. But today, were were treated to a Great Blue Heron hunting for lunch.

...And Here's What the Beach Looks Like

When we arrived at Rosario Beach in late morning, we were treated to the arrival of a so-called marine layer. This layer of fog, trapped near the surface of the water came pouring in as we watched.

So, We Went to the Beach

We gathered our gumption and headed out to shore for a bit of sunshine. As you might surmise from the image above, sunshine here is not like yours. Yes, it is warm when the sun is shining on your back. At least it is on my black when I'm wearing my winter sweater. While Seth is all decked out for a real summer, Seamus is only about half way there with his long pants on.

Standing out by the tidal pools at Rosario Beach, Seamus is finding tiny crabs and fish to explore. It was a lot busier than the last time E and I came here on our own.

Rosario Beach, Fidalgo Island

We had a stop of sunshine the other day, so we headed out for a ride. After a stop in La Conner just to have a look about (not much open there), we drove over to Fidalgo Island for a look about. We stopped at Rosario Beach and found a delightful place to spend some time.
