Day 17 - Seal Rock

The Team contemplates the Seal Rock Overlook.

Seal Rock Beach is almost entirely out of the water - we have rarely seen the tide this low.

The beach can have this effect on folks.

Gulls take an afternoon bath in the freshwater stream.

An older-model US Navy Life-Ring. They were originally made of concrete because they would last longer in salt water.

I had to include this photo as it's all about the exact posture of Ella Odd Sock. This is the precise pose she struck in a photo sent to us by her very nice sheltie breeder Mom Susan 6 short years ago. That was the photo that convinced me this little gal was an energetic character - who wanted to get out and explore the world. We were here in the central coast of Oregon at the time - and upon return home - immediately returned to the road and north to Falkland BC to meet this furry black wonder. The rest is our history of life with Ella.

Wind blows my fur and sand hits my ass. This is disturbing - howling is in order. The howling has been an unexpected side effect of life with Ella.

Seal Rocks features unusual rock formations - white is partuclarly rare in these parts.

The Tip of the Rockberg.

The Visual Puzzle of the Day: those aren't funny little pebbles. They are actually holes in a rock that the sea has jammed all sorts of little bits into. Can you make your mind see little holes instead of pebbles? The squishing noise you may notice is your brain imploding.

The wind is making the tidepools hard to see into.

The US Navy's latest attempt to grow raspberry jellybeans directly on Salal bushes, which are very plentiful here in Oregon. mmmmmMMMMMMmmmmm..... raspberry jellybeans.

Tuning fork of the sea. Yet another US Navy project to modulate the harmonic frequencies of the sea for use in yet further undisclosed secret projects.

On every trip we run across a forest grove that has broken into a full out dance party.

Sand art.
