September 20 – 21, 2017 — Forward Harbour —

We always enjoy Forward Harbour, and this year was no exception.  I was able to get in a couple of paddles and had a few photo ops.

 

 

 

 

 

 

We were enjoying the sunset on our first night, when I spotted a bear on the beach turning rocks.

 

 

 

 

 

On one of my morning paddles,  I spotted this Blue Heron fishing along the shore. . .

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

. . . and, this American Robin.

 

 

On the lowest tide one morning, I spotted three Minks.  Unfortunately,  this was the only one to stay still long enough for me to get his picture.

 

 

 

 

 

 

This tug with a log boom just outside Forward Harbour was waiting for slack tide at Whirlpool Rapids.

 

 

At low tide I looked for Sea Stars.  I noticed there weren’t any bright purple or pink SeaStars, but I did find colorful Bat stars.

 

 

 

All the other Sea Stars were pretty dull in comparison.

 

 

I saw lots of clams and crabs.

 

 

 

Early mornings have turned chilly.  This fall colored leaf I found floating on the water was just one more reminder that summer is over.  Sad.
