On to Quadra

It is wonderful to be back on Quadra. Because it has been so wet and cold the pants are weeks behind the norm. Here are a few things that are in bloom.
Ocean Spray that is blooming all over the island and adding a lovely touch.

Poppy flower.

Purple Foxglove.

White Foxglove.

Bachelor's Button, I think.

One exception - the path. Despite my efforts in May it is on vegetation overload. Back to the path we go, clippers and trowels in tow.

Down to the beach. Neighbor Gary's canoes.

If you look closely, the gull has just caught something in the tidepool.

Eating his catch.

Another gull flying by. We've only seen a few eagles, most are off in the rivers catching salmon.

If you have a little imagination the beach is full of wonderful things..well, even without imagination it is wonderful.
A dorsal fin rising out of a pile of driftwood.

A log monster roaring at intruders?

Just for the record, Buck is standing at the end of log which is about 75 meters long.

A stage for oceanside performances? See the log seats to the right?

Or maybe a spot for a nap in the sun? The man can sleep anywhere.
