Huntington Beach November 14 2012

R0ndo had his delayed birthday/Adoption Day yesterday. Since his AD falls on Veteran's day, it behooves us to do stuff later in the week, when there aren't crowds about.

We couldn't have asked for a more-perfect day: temps in the 70's, light cloud cover, a very low tide and a nearly empty beach!

We frisbee'd and walked the beach for several hours until the sun set. R0ndo was very pleased.

There were a number of interesting sights this trip-- more than usual. First was seeing a moon snail moving (they're kind of gross, actually). We found a mystery creature that I think is a kind of sea slug...googling leads me to believe it's a "green sea slug". Maybe. Also found a dead pelican...it was beautiful. Strange to see an adult pelican dead like this-- looks like it drowned or broke its neck. But the way the surf left it on the beach was lovely in a haunting way. On a more prurient line, I think I found a pair of hermit crabs having nookie.

The sunset was gorgeous and a fantasting end to a wonderful day.
