U-Pick Seafood Bar
We spent a beautiful, if chilly, afternoon at Boundary Bay, watching "peeps" as they foraged at the edge of the retreating tide. This one has caught something interesting; a small clam, perhaps?
More tomorrow, once I've sorted the photos.

I'm having to moderate all comments because Blogger seems to have a problem notifying me. Sorry about that. I will review them several times daily, though, until this issue is fixed.
Also, I have word verification on, because I found out that not only do I get spam without it, but it gets passed on to anyone commenting in that thread. Not cool!
