Sea gulls! Surely they are hungry!
Of course, I am always prepared!
See the full in flight just at the island in the background.
So many gulls, so little food and time!
A beach log across a run of water. Just an ordinary little log.
But the log was tricky to navigate. The lady needed lots of help.
Darryl stepped in the water trying to cross.
Beach logs are the bones of a rain forest picked clean by the sea. They begin in river valleys
as great conifers like Sitka spruce. When a day's downpour adds to glacial melt the stream the may rise
six feet, undermining the bank and toppling trees into the flood, washing them down to the river mouth and the
beach. Some fall from eroding headlands. Numbered trunks are strays from tug pulled log rafts. Drift logs
are dangerous. At high tide they may suddenly roll. Unwary people have been crushed and killed by drift logs
The sea creates great sculpture
