Skywatch Friday

These pictures were all taken at Crescent Beach just north of Surrey B.C.
Lots of things trying and succeeding in getting into the air and sailing away!! We were treated to a fly by from the airshow that was going on across the waters at Boundry Bay.
Lots of sailboats at the end of Crescent Beach. There was enough wind for the sails to be out and about.

A group of four men were in the water with a Boogie board sail trying to catch enough wind to set the sail flying. They could get the sail up briefly but it never stayed in the air. Behind it here in the picture a board sailer could get enough wind to skim the surface of the water.


One of the attempts to get the sail to fly!!
A heron who stood nicely for me to take a few pictures then flew away after.

This and That

1) I am sick. Summer colds always are hard to take.
2) It does not feel like summer outside. Its cold, cloudy and raining off and on. And windy. I like that part.
3) Lots of sad news on the TV today. Prominent people dying. If things go in threes then hopefully it will end.
4) Farrah Faucett was amazing in The Burning Bed. I had to look at her differently after I saw her in that role.
5) My hubby took my camera to work with him today, and I am fretting. I worry about that camera like it was another kid of mine. Of course when you don't have your camera with you then everything is a photo op!!
6) I worry about my hubby too! I told him to gaurd that camera with his life but I didn't mean it. Really there is not even a choice about which one I would give up. And he is not it.
7) Work is done and I am going to go and change into something comfy and cozy, befitting this cold I am nursing. I just want to caccoon tonight, so that is what me and my cat are going to do. And watch the sad news at the same time.
Have a great evening everyone.

Watery Wednesday

I was out to White Rock the other day finding some inspiration for a photo contest I just entered and this was the beach I found!
If you look a couple of posts down on the blog you will see the stone and driftwood clock I entered into the contest.
It was a beautiful sunny day in the middle of the afternoon and the tide was quite far out. It did come in some while I was at the beach.
White Rock is located at the north end of Surrey, B.C. about a half hours drive out of Vancouver. When the tide is out it has beautiful sandy beaches and lots of sites to see. It is on my way home from work and I love to stop on a sunny day and walk the beach before going home.

I loved the stones on the sand in these shots. They looked like a path leading to the ocean to me. I took quite a few pictures from different angles.

Weekend Snapshot


Today, Saturday, I had an idea for a photo so hubby and I headed down to Crescent Beach to the sand to set it up. Can you tell what my idea was by looking at the above picture??

How about this picture??
Well, I wanted to make a clock out of beach stones, with driftwood clock hands, just at the edge of the tide as the tide was coming in. I am trying to get a picture for a photo contest I want to enter. The only problem is that I was already too late when I got to the beach, the tide was coming in fast and in the few minutes it took me to run around and find the stones and set them up, you can see that the tide just ran right over the area and washed away my makeshift clock hands. I tryed snapping a few shots but alas, it is all washed up!!
