Rocks. Just rocks. More rocks.

 I dropped in to Little Bear Bay in time to catch the lowest tide I've seen there.

The beach is sand with stones scattered on top.

Wonderful! I headed straight out to the edge to look at crabs. And then I looked back and noticed the rocks.

Outer limit of Little Bear Bay. Really, an estuary opening into Johnstone Strait. East Thurlow Island across the water.

The rocks! The rocks! I abandoned the crabs and went to look at rocks.

Looking as if they were just now boiling out from under the forest.

Cracked and sliced.

Supplying the stones for crabs to hide beneath.

The lower levels are covered with barnacles and limpets.

More.

The map.

The critters weren't as co-operative. But they were there; photos tomorrow.

En la Bahía del Osito (Little Bear Bay) encontré la marea a su nivel mínimo. ¡Perfecto! Salí de inmediato hacia el borde del agua para buscar criaturitas. Y, mirando para atrás, vi las rocas...

  1. La playa es arenosa, con piedras esparcidas encima.
  2. La bahía es más bien un estuario, que desemboca en el Estrecho Johnstone. Al otro lado del agua está la isla East Thurlow.
  3. Las rocas parecen burbujas que escapan, hirviendo, desde debajo del bosque.
  4. Bastante agrietadas.
  5. De aquí han salido las piedras que cubren la arena.
  6. Donde las cubre la marea a diario, llevan bálanos y lapas.
  7. Y más rocas.
  8. El mapa del sitio.
Y sí, descubrí mis animalitos; mañana subo las fotos que me permitieron sacar. No estaban tan dispuestos a posar como lo eran las rocas.

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!
