USELESS BAY #4 - More Obvious Beach "Finds"

Beach-combing doesn't require one to always be looking down.
Previous posts of mine feature drift-log structures (Oct 2012 "Going Coastal, Part 4).
This one will probably last all summer; immense logs were used:



I love to find relics.  This one is perfect for a child's imagination; hours of fun pretending
adventure on the high seas, ship wrecks, and beach-survival:

Wild roses:

Wild pea vines:

It is always exciting to spot a Big Blue Heron on inland waterways and lakes.
Here on the surf's edge, fishing was good for a whole family, and it was great to see several in one place, though a little demeaning for them, as they were as plentiful as seagulls: 


This shot is a little too distant, but I love the shades of blue and green which show up
when enlarged:

Nice herons! You got a good lift-off shot. I know there were several, but for me it was a thrill to see that many in one place. Must've been a popular diner.

My favorite picture is the last blue heron with the turquoise water. You are so gifted at composition; and your love of the subject always comes through in the translation.
