It rained and it rained and it rained but this Gull just took it it in stride perched on a magnificent weathered log.

All in Stride
While the waves were breaking big on the rocks along the shore a Black Turnstone takes it all in stride while foraging on a mussel crusted rock.
Breathing
Tides and clouds rolling in and out. Breathing.
As the tide went out
Life forms often overlooked become revealed.
A humbling experience appreciated.
Breakfast of Champions
We think Wheaties whereas Pacific Oyster Catchers prefer limpets. We have always had a hard time getting close enough to oyster catchers to get a really good photograph but this day low tide and the lure of a beach teaming with limpets must have outweighed their concern for our presence. There were two Oyster Catchers each going to town on the limpet population on this rocky beach. They would pry them up and them swallow them whole. A true breakfast of champions.
This ain’t no picnic
But then again with the sun out and the rain no longer pouring down this might be a Cormorants idea of a picnic.
Waving
The sky and sea waving good morning to each other on a grey but beautiful winters day.
One
A place where all is one. Where the river meets the sea. I love that this whole landscape is temporal even the sand that forms the bank of the river melts into the sea and then reforms with each ripple of water, each wave and each tidal cycle.
Islet and Fog
Something about fog brings out the quiet in the landscape so much so that sometimes all I want to do is sit and watch the quiet. Photographed while kayaking past one of the innumerable small islets along the west coast of Vancouver Island on a foggy and rainy morning. August, 2015.
Passing Storm
With the rain came a quietness that only rain can bring. Looking out into the big Pacific Ocean off the NW coast of Vancouver Island.
