One of the few last weekends curtip got to come out to the coast which also happened to be the US vs. Ghana game (super depressing right??). So after a few beers at the...uh... local "pub" a picnic at the beach was in order as it was a rare 80 degree day. We also partook in hiking along the coast trails, beach beer, a visit to the gardens, an early morning trip to tidepool, french toast, etc. etc. Awesomeness indeed.
Sitka spruce trees are the best
Early morning South Cove
Kelp for me
Limpet for Annie (by the way, we found a number of your friends, certainly not all of them were there though )
Sunflower star because they are pretty neat (and more kelp for me)
Urchins!
Tidepooling in chacos. no big deal.
Self portrait
We found a massive amount of squid eggs washed up on the beach, potentially rumored to be Humboldt squid? but that's debatable.
It was mysterious, but pretty cool
And the perfect opportunity to creep on a certain someone whilst on the phone.

Three things:
1) you're pictures always make me smile, and feel like I can taste the fresh air
2) The last photo of you and Curtis is amazing.
3) Squid eggs! That's what I found on our engagement photo shoot! That is going to make Erik soooooo happy!

A few points to address:
Sitka spruce trees are spiky!
I still love south cove, and have been there many an early morning.
I knew there would be more than one picture of kelp in this post.
My limpets!
That is one sad urchin :( no tube feet showing and he is droopy.
You always tidepool in chacos, it's like, a given.
I've never seen squid eggs before. Good find!
Love you!
You two are the sweetest!
Looking at these photos is making me realize august lacked beach visits (must fix asap!)
Yes yes! I just now remembered you had that photos. So lovely! I think the el nino chaos brought more friends to the PNW including lots of squid eggs.
I have some wild pictures of spruce trees sprouting out of fallen spruces... i forgot what that adaptation is called though. and salal is waxy... err my friend!!
It's possible the urchin was attempting to put out its pedicellaria (omg invert!) and it was found in the sun, out of a pool.
