A Day at the Beach
Last week was an incredibly low tide week. Tuesday was a -4.1 and we heard on the news about Ferry runs being canceled because the tide was so low. Tuesday was the last day of school and despite it being the predicted nicer day of the week and the lowest of the low days, we couldn't quite make it out there. Wednesday despite the ominous clouds and threat of rain we headed out to our property anyway so we could walk the beach and explore the reefs that open up when the tide is this low, a -3.9.
We took the 3 older puppies, Harvey, Misty, and Caramella, then Andy, Mindy, and Walker. My daughter brought her friend Kaitlynn along. The dogs had a great time especially the puppies who chased each other all along the beach and into the water. No hesitation in going in the water! We saw lots of interesting sea life! Hundreds of Sea Stars, also known as Starfish, Sea Anemones, a Moon Snail, Crabs, and a very large Purple Jelly Fish!
I have lots of pictures I took, it took me awhile to get the photos all organized and I am going to try something different and put them in photo album on another site. I'll see if this link works, let me know if it doesn't. Click on the Album that says
"Day at the Beach" then in the top part, right hand corner of that page is a spot to click on "Slide Show". There are lots of pictures of not just the Doodles and puppies, but of the things we saw on the beach. Enjoy!

The other set of pictures are ones I have taken of my gardens.
