At Sunnyside Beach Again!

I just love Sunnyside Beach in Steilacoom, WA. It's one of my favorite places to visit. We went at low tide on Wednesday. It wasn't a really low tide, but we were able to walk along the shoreline looking for sea glass, which we love to do. We also looked for sea creatures, but it wasn't a very good day for that, perhaps because the water wasn't quite low enough? The last time we went there, we saw a whole lot of starfish, and this time we almost didn't see any, but toward the end of our walk, my son spotted one, and near it I spotted another one, both in the water.

The first starfish we saw that day.

This is the other starfish--it's covered by seaweed!

The weather was rather crazy. When we first arrived there was some sunshine, but that didn't last. We had light showers, fog out over the water; we even had sleet! Then there was sunshine again.

These pictures were taken facing the same direction (towards McNeil Island). . .

We noticed that you could actually see the change from gray to blue... the blue was moving to the left and pushing away the gray!
