We waited, wished, hoped and prayed that God would lead us back to the Island. Back to the place where we grew up. Back to our family (minus a few :D ). Back to beaches. It is not a secret that we love the beach. And Rupe has it in his blood to love the beach, and so he does. Summer is approaching and I am excited that Rupe is older this year. His curious little mind is going and there is so much to discover at the beach! One such discovery happens around this time each year. The spawning of herring. You always know when the herring are spawning... the waters turn an amazing shade of aqua, they almost glow. Fishing boats hover off the coast waiting for their catch and beautiful crystal like balls are left clinging to seaweed and rocks.
I ridiculously left my camera at home the first night... I was kicking myself! there was an amazing sunset and the water was absolutely stunning! shoot! Rupe and I headed out the next day but alas it was cloudy... not quite as glowey!
Little monkey fell asleep on the way down.
Our find of the day. The source of the amazing beach show.
It almost looks warm and tropical. But don't be too fast to dream of jumping in... the aqua color of from fish milt and the water is freezing! This is BC in March after all.
Another exciting find! A digger with no one in it. Finders keepers.
we went to the beach TWICE that day! Once just me and Rupe and the next with dad-man. Dusk made the tiny eggs sparkle.
It was a beautiful day. As I stated in my title. This is why we live here.
...Beautiful!
