MOVING ON

We knew how lucky we had been to have the endless beach and view all to ourselves
(except 2 locals on their morning walks) the entire morning.
The first sign of "encroachment" sent us scampering elsewhere, though I did see
this nice photo composition on our way out:
(We admit we are beach snobs!)


The exit route we took was beyond the marshes, through old growth
forest and cool breezes.
Our "Hobbit Trail":
 Sunbeams  and wild Nootka roses:

Okay, spotting the first eagle validated the day!
King of all he surveys, including the Olympic mountains:

We found a rather isolated picnic table on a different beach and hauled out our picnic lunch.
This eagle was not far away, and he allowed us to get closer.
When he focused on me, personally, it was quite disconcerting.
Now I know what getting the "eagle eye" really feels like:

 Cama was once a fishing village, and the old cabins have been restored.
This kind of "beaching it" is definitely not for me, but
they did make for a nice geometric composition:
