Winter at Rapahoe

We are still trying to take my daughter's dog Bug to the beach over Winter on the odd non rainy day. 


Oyster catcher birds at the edge of the high tide looking for tasty morsels that have washed up.


The remains of an old pier at the edge of the tide and river that goes out into the ocean.


Looking across the beach to the other side.


But was sniffing new smells for the week and checking out rocks with us.



Lots of old empty mussell shells covered in barnacles. Usually this beach is covered in driftwood and old tree stumps and branches. Sometimes people bring their cars and trailers here and chop up wood to take home.

Linking up with Through my lensTuesday TreasuresMy corner of the worldWordless Wednesday.

There’s a quiet poetry in the tide’s leftovers—barnacled shells, driftwood, and stumps—each piece a fragment of time, reshaped by the sea and repurposed by people.

Une très belle et très paisible balade automnale. Comme à l'accoutumée les photos sont très réussies

There seems to always be things to see (and smell) at the beach. It looks like this might have been a chilly day.
