So much more coast to explore

Posted on by greenbee

My friend Susan, who traveled the globe buying textiles for a fair trade company, loves swimming outdoors, and asked me if I’d been in the ocean yet. As soon as I wrote something about being hesitant due to it being all men fishermen and swimmers, I realized that in the US it’s almost all men fisherman, too, and I was just being silly. That being said, you’ll probably be able to see in a couple of photos how powerful the water is, and it may take me a little while to drum up the nerve to jump in the ocean here, but I’ll definitely be out exploring life along the coastal edges a lot more from now on! And I’m looking forward to swimming at a beach where I’ll worry less about being swept out to sea or being the weird old lady intruding on young men’s fun…

Can you see the 4 or 5 young men swimming below and right of where one in center stands close to the edge of the rock shelf?
The longer you look, the more mollusks you can see…
It’s all wonderful, Susan!
These salt filled bowls made me wonder about a sacred Native American site in California friend Lori recently shared photos of that was a big rock outcrop where they milled acorns. I wonder if it was an uplifted ocean formation, more evenly cut from Native American use.
