The gulls
had a great time parading along the edge of the seaweed and grabbing
unsuspecting crabs for their lunches. |
 |
These strange
things are the egg casings of the Moon
Snail.
Commonly called
sand collars, they appear to be thin pieces of rubber in the shape
of a round collar. They are composed of snail eggs sandwiched
between layers of mucus coated with sand.

 |
This is possibly
a (dead) Moon Snail but I'm not sure. |
 |
As I walked
along the beach, hundreds of clams squirted up through the sand
at me, and I managed to take a picture of a clam's siphon sticking
up through the sand.
|
 |
Discarded carapaces
of crabs added some color to the sand. |
 |
There were
many kinds of kelp and seaweed in evidence. Here, a coral-looking
type of seaweed grows in a shell. |
 |
Some seaweed
was very brightly colored. |
 |
And some was
not.
As the tide
was coming in, we decided to head towards the ferry at Kingston.
|
 |
I always have
a chuckle at these two which greet folks at a gas station.
There are
a number of carvings but these are the most comical.
|
 |
And ending
the trip with wildlife, just as it began was this lovely little
deer having a snack in a field beside the road.
Home we went,
both of us sunburnt, having enjoyed our time on the Kitsap Peninsula.
