Day 35 - Cape Kiwanda Marine Garden

Yet another amazing parking spot.

One of the Kiwanda famous "dory boats. This one is captained by two local fishermen whose daily catch can be found in the local grocery stores. They call themselves West Fish Co. We bought one of their delicious crabs from Chester's Market. mmmmmmm - crab cakes.

Squalls mark our venture out to the Marine Garden today. It's now or never - this area is only accessible at low tide.

It's not at all like yesterday's pristine beach weather.But every scenario has it's charms.

Tidal mushrooms.

Pelican fly past.

This is the biggest flock of pelicans we have ever seen.

Lovely gooey slathered rocks await the quickly incoming tide.

Peek hole in the rocks.

Common fate.

Tiny tidepools with anemones, sculpins and soft corals.

And seaweed.

And little mussels.

The sun comes out a bit.

The sun doesn't last long.

There are many eyes.

A boy and his dog.

And then lunch on the deck at the Pelican.
