September 11th 2016–Red Bluff Beach Walk

 

The day was lovely again, so another walk seemed in order.  We chose to go to Red Bluff Surf beach first, and were delighted to see the rocks are exposed on the beach again.  This changes at various times during the year, at times the beach will look like a normal sandy beach that you would find anywhere.  At other times there is little to no sand, and most of the beach is covered in rocks.  

Today the tide was high, so we were not able to make our way up to the Bluff, so we walked in the opposite direction, picking our way along the beach littered with shells, small rocks and other beach debris.  You never know what you may find!

We noticed several boats offshore,  Hewardia and Maas Banker, fishing just outside the breaking waves, making a pretty picture for us

When wandering along the beach,  you find all kinds of interesting things, and I love to find “natural” shots, like this piece of shell sitting up in the sand, casting it’s shadow across the sand.

I wonder did a human hand stand the shell up, was there a dog running on the beach that disturbed the shell, or did the waves deposit it there,  just as I found it? 

Further along the beach, we found a place where the sea was washing onto the beach and creating a small pool, from which the water was rushing back into the sea, creating a little waterfall all of it’s own.

As the water found it’s way back to the sea, it carved a deeper and deeper channel in the sand.

Always something to take a photo of when you’re on the beach!
