OK, Mother Nature....the deck is ready - gazebo, outdoor dining, lounge area, barbeque area....now where is the sun and the heat.......??????
June 5 was Venus crossing the sun......totally cloudy day until just before the cross was to happen....so went to the beach to watch.........
We enjoyed what there was of the sun.....the beach is lovely in any weather.........
Still lots of snow on the mountains behind Parksville.....
so I made southern fried chicken, a big bowl of raw veggies and blueberry tarts for our picnic.........fleeces and all.........
and behind us there were a gazillion young folks playing in a volleyball tournament, despite the cool cloudy weather........!
Next picnic was at the 100 Stairs (a staircase to the beach, above which sits 11 benches for people to enjoy the view)...with SUN.......!!!
and during the hour or more we were there, we saw 18 eagles......wow......and altho the camera is poor, there is a juvenile sitting in the top left branch of that tree right in front of us.........
and 6 on the beach - one on that big rock - fishing, eating whatever the tide left, and providing a treat for we eagle lovers.
