My Three or more Tuesday this week is from our early morning walk at Emma Wood State Beach in Ventura on Valentine’s Day. Four Godwits on the sand digging with their long beaks to find some goodies to eat. Hey look there are 3 or more rocks and 3 or more waves, too.
For more Three or More visit Tam at The Gypsy’s Corner.
Dear and I headed up to Emma Wood State Beach early Saturday morning. It’s been several weeks since we’ve done our favorite walk and it was great to be back…
It was High Tide so we had very few steps directly on the sand.
The Fall/Winter birds were back in town. We saw lots of Godwits and Sanderlings. We saw so many Pelicans but they were all far from my camera and moving in formation across the water…
Dear and I attended church on Saturday evening this week so on Sunday morning we headed to Emma Wood State Beach in Ventura for an early morning walk.
We saw the sunrise.
The waves were beautiful to see and to hear.
As we walked closer to Surfer’s Point we began to see Surfers trying to catch the best waves.
There’s nothing like an early morning walk on the beach to set your mind on things above and to cause you to praise God’s mighty name and his power in creating the world we enjoy.
We shared the beach with lots of birds, the gulls, the godwits, the sanderlings, and the herons. That’s Dear enjoying the waves. And here’s a collage of some of the birds we viewed on this lovely Sunday morning.
“There is nothing like walking to get the feel of a country. A fine landscape is like a piece of music; it must be taken at the right tempo. Even a bicycle goes too fast.”
– Paul Scott Mowrer
“The soverign invigorator of the body is exercise, and of all the exercises walking is the best.”
– Thomas Jefferson
Hope you have a wonderful week.
Dear and I arrived for our Saturday walk early again this week and because the tide was too high to walk on our regular route we walked along the dunes in the opposite direction headed toward Surfer’s Point.
After we walked along the dunes we cut across them to the water. This rocky driftwood carpeting is not real easy on the ankles.
This had us scratching our heads wondering “what the heck is it or was it”?
We saw a lot of Godwits and Sanderlings.
This is a section of the beach where the Ventura river empties into the ocean. It was a favorite spot for these herons, seagulls, and godwits.
When we headed back to the dunes to get to our car we were thrilled to see this lone Heron posing for us.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again and again, we cannot exhaust beautiful views of God’s creation.
