Rathtrevor Beach is 2-3 kilometers south of Parksville, Vancouver Island. The ocean recedes almost a kilometer at low tide.
Some of the things I found in the sand and tide pools
These snails were absolutely everywhere, very tiny to 2 cm in length.

Verrrrrry NICE! The great blue heron is one of my favorites. I have relatives at Parksville. Although we've been emailing for a few years, I only met them in person a year ago last spring. There are some of your pictures that I would love to paint sometime (with your permission of course)
ReplyDeleteLooks like you are enjoying your trip. I'm heading east in about a week.
Paint whatever You like, Di.
