T1, NJ and T all went to the beach on Wednesday, it was a typical San Francisco day, foggy and wet, but it is always beautiful, no matter when you go. I actually like to go when it is storming, I have the whole beach to myself generally and it is just the most majestic sight you would ever see. Seriously though you really do have it all to your self - four miles of sandy beautiful beach. All mine.
A choice to walk the beach or around the lake? I would pick the beach every time. However, I don't like to walk at high tide. And the tide can get so high at times that it will cut you off from other parts of the beach. So if you want to walk past a certain point, you have to make sure that you could make it back before the tide washed out that part of the beach. Timing is everything.
I used to walk the beach everyday with the first T, dogs could be off leash at that time and she would dashing off after the birds who would tease and tempt her. She came close a couple of times catching the birds (she was very very fast) but she never quite managed a full bird catch. She did come up with some injured birds, but she would drop them once she realized that I didn't want them (me running away from her screaming at the top of my lungs drop drop drop not a pretty sight.)
Dogs are suppose to on leash because of some endangered bird, and the dogs hurt their environment. Over the years that I have been going to the beach I have never seen a dog catch the birds. When I would come in the morning they are all over the beach thousands of them, and we would have to chase them away just so we wouldn't step on them. I guess having thousands of dogs chase the birds was creating some stress, but it certainly didn't seem to stop them from taking over the beach.
I think that maybe we will go to the beach tomorrow. I just need to check low tide.

I'd like to go to the beach too!
ReplyDeleteWhitemop isn't a beach fan, but Taya sure is!
Let's think good beach thoughts to INCLUDE Mop being able to go & watch Taya splash in the surf.
T3 is an incredibly supportive mate - TH aka TSH aka TLL is a VERY lucky man!
