Misty Afternoon, Beach, Log and Seagulls
One of the best things about being at the beach is being at the beach – just being there, just feeling the sand between your toes, grabbing a beach book (mine was Philippa Gregory’s The Other Queen) and listening to the steady rolling roar of the waves hitting the beach . . .
As I strolled down to my favorite log yesterday, it was weirdly magical – the sun was shining bright, and there was this huge MIST rolling along the beach. It wasn’t cold, it was just magical and weird. I took a few shots of mist and beach and log:
Maybe this is what’s left from the seagull’s fish yesterday?
So I crawled up on the log and was reading my book and I hear a sound . . . and out of the corner of my eye, I could see a seagull land, like 5 feet away. I didn’t want to move too much and scare him, so I took this photo:
Yes, I had to hold the camera upside down, but then, slowly, slowly, I turned right side up, as more and more seagulls landed, groomed, and went to sleep. I guess I must have found the beach hot spot:
I quietly slid off the log to head back to the cabin, telling them not to worry, I meant them no harm. They didn’t flicker a feather:

The only natural beaches we have left are in the south of Kuwait. I hope they don’t get sculptured too…

Bu Yousef, the Washington state beaches would be heaven for you and your family. They are perfect for kite flying and family activities, there is great hiking, but as there is not a lot of development, there are also not a lot of restaurants or amusement facilities. We bring a lot of our own food – mostly breakfasts and small meal stuff, snacks, and our own amusements – books, kites, puzzles . . . as Danderma says in the Ocean Shores post, you can rent bikes there. It is very old timey.
Onlooker – LLOOOLLL – me and my gull-friends, eh?
