Cinco de Mayo at the Beach

It was odd, but good odd, weather this morning at the beach.  There were thin clouds overhead, and even mist in the distance, but it was mildly warm and pleasant.  Great weather to get a sun burn in

The wild roses, which cover much of the cliffs were in full bloom.  They smell wonderful, almost overpowering at times.
Skye and Red stalk a victim, someone who might have a snack or a sandwich.
Turns out she didn't have a snack after all, or at least chose not to share it.  Sunbathing season is here, no doubt.


There were lots of butterflies out today.  This Eastern Tiger Swallowtail came up almost focused...
While this Clouded Sulphur gave me a pretty good shot of the underside of its wing.  We also saw lots of Red Admirals, though not as many as last week.
 Fossil cast of the extinct scallop, Chesapecten.
We met Ernie and his water-loving labs.  They would just swim out for the sake of swimming











Aw, Dad, do we have to go home now?
