Postcard hike

We found a new hike. It leds to an area that can only be described as a photo opportunity. It was a ramble that had many dimensions. In addition to great vistas, we came across an area that held about a half an acre of blooming black berry bushes. Hundreds of Monarch butter flies were feeding on the blossoms. I have never seen so many flutter bys in one spot! Later on the walk, we watched otters as they sunned themselves. They entwine themselves in kelp to keep themselves afloat.  I have to wonder where they hid out during the recent storms.  Great piles of kelp ended up on shore ~ ripped from their moorings during the high winds of recent storms.  Local pines were not the only vegetation to suffer the affects of the high winds!

We look forward to sharing the walk with family and friends.  Candy, see you soon!
