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!

'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.
Surfbirds ply the tidal pools along the shore at the Anchor River State Recreation Area, Anchor Point, Alaska.
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.
While most penguins are found in cold environments, the African penguin is a unique species that has adapted to a warmer, coastal habitat. A prime location to observe them is Boulders Beach in Simon's Town, South Africa. Known for its ancient granite boulders and sandy beaches, this beautiful spot serves as a crucial nesting ground for a large colony.
Situated within the Table Mountain National Park Marine Protected Area, Boulders Beach provides a safe refuge for these birds. Visitors can see the incredible sight of penguins on the beach, mingling with sunbathers, building nests in the local plants, and maneuvering over rocks to swim in the refreshing waters of False Bay. Their distinctive, loud, donkey-like braying call is the reason they are also known as "jackass penguins," a sound that frequently echoes along the shore.

We poets are beachcombers,
searching for treasures washed ashore
from the sea of humanity.
