Random photos from a happy afternoon on the beach:
 |
| Centennial Beach duck pond, beach watchers, and a kite. |
 |
| A mile of sand, a bit of water, Crescent Beach, and Mount Baker |
 |
| Teenagers digging a hole. Or making a mountain of sand. |
 |
| Seaweed and eelgrass in ankle-deep water. |
 |
| Out where the water was knee-deep, I saw this large, pink starfish. |
Most of our starfish are purple or orange; I thought, at first, that this one must have been dead and fading. But no; he was very much alive, eating a clam, which he dropped when I dangled him out of the water. He squirmed and waved his tube feet around, trying to get away. I put him back as soon as Laurie took his photo.
 |
| Long, creamy yellow tube feet. |
 |
| Back at the duck pond, the yellow irises are blooming. |
 |
| The mystery plant of two weeks ago turned out to be an alium. Kate and Upupaepops were right. |
 |
| Red sorrel, beach pea, plantain, etc., on a driftwood log. |
Love the logs and iris. The weather still has a few hiccups, but I think summer is on the way. - Margy
