Scenic

Ever wonder about the grains of sand on vast expanses of ocean beaches?  I do. Where have these tiny grains been and how long have they been there?  Winds and surf at play sculpt the shores and sights one will see over the years.  The tall grasses blanketed in the dunes and dwarf coastal trees try to grow big and strong in the ever present ocean breezes.  Today’s photos are from the sands of Agate Beach on the north east shores of Haida Gwaii.  I loved the little sand hoodoos that formed from the winds and how the fog hugged the coast line.

Enjoy!

Well, got a little behind in posting due to another commitment but did get out on May 20th in the evening to watch the Annular Solar Eclipse.   Posted are a few photos from various times –  the reddish orange hue is how the eclipse appeared using special viewing glasses that were sent out by the Manitoba Museum.

Enjoy!

If you have never been – GO!  This picturesque town in the Red Rock area of Arizona is just south of Flagstaff and the Grand Canyon area making it a high tourist area and is home to the Javelinas.  I truly enjoyed the sights around Sedona. There are interesting shops and galleries and very good restaurants to choose from.  My son and I noted when there that the town was very dark at night with very few street lamps. We overheard a waiter explaining to some other visitors this is intentional so everyone can enjoy the clear starry skies over the magnificant red rocks.  Many westerns were filmed here as well featuring stars such as John Wayne and Jimmy Stewart to name a few.

Enjoy!
