For no particular reason we took a drive up-island to Parksville and Qualicum Beach, about 150 km north of Victoria. Years ago, when I drove up and down the island to visit my Mom, more often than not it would be sunny at Qualicum Beach. But on this day it wasn't. So back we went to Rathtrevor Beach in Parksville.
It was cold and windy, definitely still winter. The beach is strewn with shells. I stopped to study barnacles on a rock, realizing that it had been some time since I'd looked at such things.
Clouds were blasting across the sky at a fierce rate.
But if you look up - and it amazes me how many people don't - you often see bald eagles in the fir trees.
I'm going to pick your brain one of these days on how you manage to get all those pictures in one frame! I can do it with one program I have, but it's labour intensive. Gorgeous pictures, you've really captured the "West Coast" feeling here.
ReplyDeleteOh thanks. I was so disappointed in the day's pictures, so that's nice to hear.
ReplyDeleteI do the combo thing in Photoshop Elements. It is a bit labour intensive but, of course, gets easier the more you do it.
