Places I've Wandered - Botanical Beach June 2011 Pt.3 - Intertidal Action & Emergency Bathroom
Leaving the pointed prominence behind we make our way along a more "traditional" cove of a beach. Except that it has sweet rocky goodness thrusting up through it!
Followed by this lovely little casa with a view. (And a threat to bullkelp monsters to stay back)
Around the point and out onto another shelf of rock swept and carved by waves. Oh Inter-tidal zone.. how I love you.
Here the waves break and erode over the course of time. Revealing the layers and forces that have shaped the land and created the various micro-climates in which the multitudes of life can dwell and thrive.
Some most ancient
Out to the open Pacific
A rare photo of me taken by the Island Alpinist. If one has to use the washroom and is stranded on the highly visible shelf of rock they could possibly use this hole at low tide.
As demonstrated here.
No I didn't
It would also be a poor place to drop your keys
While in the hole I saw some Goose Barnacles!!! :D (Also K's beloved "Manpris" lol)
Which is awesome because on our last trip there we found mysterious chunks of sea creature
Happy Goose Barnacles
We'll end today's post as the Island Alpinist and I make our way from one section of sedimentary rock to another
Next time we shall explore this new land further and he'll probably scamper about and hang off of things ;)
Till we meet again, may you all walk in wonder,
The Maplemusketeer
