Summertime at the beach!!!!

 We've been going to the beach with the grandies. It was a bit chilly in the morning, but it warmed up!

Lots of birds! Loons, geese, gulls, terns and the osprey.





There is an osprey nest in the RVCA park. 


After three beach visits this past week, I managed to capture the gulls all fleeing as the osprey flew by. It's quite a moment when they all rise as one, and the osprey just floats on by. They eat fish and snakes.

These sweet little birds, singing their hearts out.


Fishing...

Beach time!

Games. We spent hours looking for fish. There was a fish in the weeds.
