Rare opportunity presented itself to take a picture of a vulture from above. I was standing on a bluff and it glided right underneath me.
So does everybody have vultures swing by while they're on the beach or is it just me? Beginning to get very paranoid, ha, ha!

Thanks so much for the Explore!
Today is day 186 of Project 365 (Monday).
'H's love for pretty rocks and the such matches my own......thankfully - as while the camera was doing its job we spent our time scouring where the tide had been - found quite a few interesting pieces, it's never a day out unless there's pocketsful of our 'collections'!!
There are several lovely coves at Little Musselroe Bay. Each one is separated by a diverse array of ancient rocks. We'll look at those tomorrow. But the main feature enjoyed by these beachcombers is the white sand and the crystalline waters that separate Tasmania from the Furneaux Islands.
Something a little different from my usual images. A constructed landscape using a beach image from Florida and beachcombers from Blackpool!
Out of Morro Rock beach you can find a wide assortment of beachcombers ranging from birds like the Curlews seen here to people who are just walking the beach and looking for interesting objects in the sand.
Traigh Beach, Arisaig, Lochaber, Inverness-shire
If you drive west from Glenfinnan towards the coast you eventually get to Mallaig where you can catch one of a few ferries that run but before you get there you can take a detour onto the more scenic coastal B road near Arisaig. Along that road you come to Traigh beach which was one of the recommendations in the Fotovue book for Scotland. I spent a couple of hours there in the afternoon trying to get some compositions but struggled to get the separation between the various islands as the tide was fairly low. I decided to put the drone up at the end of my visit to see if that would be any better. This was one of the shots I took cropped to avoid the road side toilet block just to the right of the beach! Luckily there were a couple of people in the shot combing the beach for something or another. It's a lovely stretch of coastline with gorgeous white sand and turquoise waters and well worth a visit although locations to park are few and far between.
I moved up the coast after this and got the best sunset of my trip but that's for a later post..

Another vacation shot from a few years ago. Bowman Bay at Deception Pass State Park in Washington state is a wonderful place. We had the place to ourselves except for a few beachcombers out for a morning stroll on the sand.
I spotted this young man exploring the beach having a great time. A beachcomber of the future perhaps.😊
Arches Provincial Park combines many contrasting elements; a cobblestone beach vs rough, porous rocks blocking the beach front forming natural arches; a rocky shoreline vs a tuckamore forest; soft grass on hillsides vs rugged, craggy cliffs.
We poets are beachcombers,
searching for treasures washed ashore
from the sea of humanity.
