#Shoreline #Beach #WildIslands #Exploring #Hiking #Seal

My wife could not get up a steep grade, so I stopped to take photos and let her stumble on ahead to catch up to her in a few minutes.

From my high point, I can see out to sea, other islands in the distance, and looking back to the left, you can see The Turnip Patch that we left earlier. It seems like forever, we're into about 3 hours now. It's a big island.

A seal follows us like a puppy dog, as we walk near it on the shoreline .

Calm ocean, looking from the rocky shore of our island, to the distant wild islands further out. We'll never visit those, our boat is too small for deep sea travel

The light (appears sandy from a distance) white spot is the huge rocky mound called The Turnip Patch, on my left, behind us, but directly ahead in the focus point. There's some nice fluffy clouds up there, and sun is getting in. It's lovely out here, you should visit?

We've acquired a friend. A seal has been following us, watching us walk the shoreline. He's a little shy, sometime before I take the shot, he dives and hides again but I caught him in a photo this time. I've had them come so close to shore, where it is shallow and close to us.

Moving along my field of vision, more distant islands and below, a rocky ledge protruding out of the ocean at the shoreline

#Shoreline #Beach #WildIslands #Exploring #Hiking

We had barely made the main part of the island, before it got sunny (and warm) and I spotted that same boat we saw leaving the harbour, heading home. Easier to see the man now that it is sunny.

We haven't seen him, but that HUGE deer is nearby. I can tell by the fresh scat (deer poop)
He's probably watching us carefully and stepping behind a tree to hide from us, as we pass by. I looked really hard. Never saw him.

Walking is difficult now

A patterned camouflaged aluminum boat, about 16-18 foot, one man in it, with a large outboard. He passed by very quickly, I heard the engine and looked out as he passed by. By now, we are on a high spot on the island looking down at him

That large deer poop again. Normally deer poop is tiny round pellets like a large rabbit, but this is a compressed blob, and it's pretty fresh looking. The deer knows we are here, and is avoiding us

More uneven large rocks on the shore. The passage is restricted on the land, trees are dense, with no paths, trails or ways to bushwhack through (Cutting your way through making a path)

My wife is walking below, on the uneven boulders. She's getting warm from hiking in the sun now, and is carrying her jacket in one hand and her cane in the other. She's been having a hard time on these uneven rock surfaces. But she's a trooper. My backpack is laying behind her, I took it off to get between trees and take some photos

#FlotsamAndJetsam #Shoreline #NavigationBuoy #Culvert #Beach #WildIslands #Exploring

If you follow my Island stories, you'll know that I clean beaches, and bring in debris for proper disposal.
You can see the Turnip patch wood and debris from Satellite

I really wanted this Navigational Buoy. They don't recapture them, they put up new ones, when storms tear them free. I knew where a RED and GREEN one were, on different beaches.
Port And Starboard gate-posts of a Sailor's Driveway, MINE!

From space, looking down at The Turnip Patch narrow isthmus (tombolo), X shapes and vectors of logs and driftwood dot the rocky mound

A HUGE red Navigational Buoy that was torn free in a storm, and washed up on the beach. It has XM6 on the side.
I tried to carry it, but I could only drag it, and our boat could not take the weight, I wanted to make a second trip to get it, but when I did, it was gone. Someone else claimed it for a trophy.
SIZE almost as long as I am, and just as heavy.

A concrete culvert section, about 4 foot long and 3 feet in diameter, half submerged in the ocean. It may have washed out from the highway where a bridge was replaced a few miles away, or been intentionally brought here to moor a boat off the beach

#Shoreline #IrishMoss #SeaMoss #Food #Health #Kelp #Beach #WildIslands #Exploring

Irish Moss (Chondrus crispus) is used as a thickening & gelling agent in foods and other products.

It is also used to clarify beverages such as beer.
https://www.bannerhealth.com/healthcareblog/teach-me/pros-and-cons-of-sea-moss-irish-moss

When we were kids, we'd gather it to sell, it has health and nutritional benefits.

You'd break your neck if you stepped on this, it's extremely slippery.
Some interesting shapes and textures on #Driftwood;
I brought a big one home.

Irish Moss and Kelp, slimy and thick on top of the beach rocks. People gather this, and dry and sell it. It has medicinal benefits, and also good as fertilizer in gardens. It's orange and brown and white in thick deposits

A horn shaped piece of ocean shaped driftwood. I'm holding it in one hand to show, with turnip patch stones below

a round piece of wood with patterns zigzagging across the face. Art created by the sea, carved as if by an artist hands.

A concrete manhole cover, the power of the sea is tremendous. If it washed this out to sea and up on an island, this is about 70 pounds/31 kg in weight. It didn't float here between the seaweed on the beach.

#HarriganCove #Halifax #NovaScotia #Shoreline #Rocks #Beach #WildIslands #Hiking #Exploring

On the seaward side, the waves on most days, come crashing ashore, but we'd find heaps of bones in between.
Seals are known to fight, and perhaps that's what caused deaths, or they come here to die?
I set a few bones on a rock to get a photo.
There's some pretty interesting stuff, on beaches, such as the blanket of irish moss and kelp at the water's edge.

Difficult walking here, my wife has a cane

I suspect a portion of a seal, a bleached white bone, with a center hole. These would be some marine creature, but also could be land mammal bones washed up from other islands where sheep might have been kept once.

Some big rib bones lined up on a rock. They may not be marine mammals, they could easily be from the carcass of a deer that died on the island, or while swimming to it.

Orange blanket of thick, slippery kelp and irish moss
Kelps are large brown algae or seaweeds.
Chondrus crispus—commonly called Irish moss or carrageenan moss —is a species of red algae which grows abundantly along the rocky parts of the Atlantic coasts

A tangled mess of tree trunks, branches, logs and driftwood, block our path through the edge of the Turnip Patch. Sometimes we had to walk closer to the water to get by obstacles. I wonder what we'll find in the woods over there?

#Rocks #Beach #Shoreline #WildIslands #Hiking #Exploring

All of #NovaScotia has amazing shorelines, some sandy, some with fascinating rock deposits.

As we move from the north end of the island, we cross an area called THE TURNIP PATCH, probably named for the turnip size boulders that have piled up in a big heap, on a narrow stretch between the end, and the main island portion.
Storms wash up debris, #FlotsamAndJetsam & driftwood
We discovered something else...
Heaps of Marine mammal bones!

resilient small spruce trees cling to the rocks, and between them, as far as you can see, is a field of turnip sized rocks, round and smooth and uniform in size, piled up from years of breakers and storms beating them on the shore.
There are many places like this around here, that are fascinating to discover.

When we reached the summit of the pile of stones, it's a long walk to the rest of the island. A bit difficult to walk on these round stones, especially for my wife, who struggles to keep her balance, walking with a cane.
In the distance, at the end of the rocks, is forested area, the main body of the island

Today it is calm. But this is the windward side of the island. Most days, waves crash right up on the mound, and in storms, it crashed over to the other side of the island, shaping a hill of rocks behind it. Other islands in the distance

Trapped in the rocks, are thousands of tree roots and logs, driftwood ,flotsam (Washed off ships) and jetsam (tossed off ships, littering) , and debris.
A cooking pot stands out in the rocks, left for decades on the shore.
Far to the right, appears to be a field.

A yellow dog
no, an apparition
a shape then
a memory
a ragged #shoreline
a prairie autumn
wind warning what
was promised
a reminder unneeded—
Across the lake
the moon tips
sundown’s purpling
commands awe with deference
I step out of my shoes
draw my collar high
lean into this howl
of dread

I was out #biking and saw a few "Burke Gilman - Interurban Trail interconnect" signs and ended up chasing them down. The southern ones are horrible, the northern ones are similar to how I used to bike to Shoreline Community College for school.

Anyway one thing lead to another and I think this is the least likely to kill you route from Lake Forest Park Town Centre to Alderwood Mall, in case for gods only know what reason you wanted to go there. But as a subset of that, it's also the least bad Burke Gilman<->Interurban (North) connection.

I'm not really sure what this is? Do you know?

Walking along the beach one day, this larger-than-usual squishy thing appeared. It looked photo-worthy but I didn't explore it further.

Maybe it's some kind of egg sack? I'll see if I have other photos..

tiny beach gravel/sand with a few grasses and rock weed bits ,but in the center is a small translucent Jelly-like creature or plant. Might be an egg sack. It's unusual. But interesting. Have a good look, I'll leave it posted until you can ID it for me?
