...not everything caught up in the ebb and flow of the tide is a direct contributor to protecting the essential sand dunes...
Sargassum, or seaweed, visits the beaches and shorelines every spring, but this year it arrived late and has covered more area than in previous years. It may smell and look uninviting to tourists, but it helps to preserve the sand dunes.
Sargassum, a migratory plant that stays afloat thanks to gas-filled bladders that act like buoys, may have originated in the Sargasso Sea, the only sea in the world that is not defined by a land mass. This area of the Atlantic is dominated by masses of free-floating seaweed, hence the Sea’s name. Surrounded by strong currents and lying just south of the Gulf Stream, the seaweed mass usually rotates in place like a very sluggish whirlpool, shifting slightly with changes in weather and temperature, throwing off large sections that drift to the shores of the Atlantic seaboard and into the Gulf of Mexico.

The lights of the Tidal Wave ride becons riders. This ride is a large "boat" which acts as a giant human swing. It sits on the edge of the body of water which Lagoon Amusement Park takes it's name (warning: wear your bug spray if you ride this one at night!)
Coming in for a landing at Vancouver's airport on a cloudy afternoon. I've added this picture to the monthly Utata project "Epigona". This photo emulates the style of Richard Misrach.
A short 5 minute walk from our guest house, over precarious rocks, was this secluded tidal pool. While the temperature was a bit chilly to swim in, we had a great time sunning ourselves and watching the ocean.

Tidal pools are full of dense, dynamic, vibrant life, both visually and texturall stimulating. This bead strives to capture that with a mix of densely placed embellishments of different textures and bold, vibrant colors.

Skookurnchuck Narrows Provincial Park, BC
This park provides opportunities for visitors to experience the awesome power of incredibly turbulent tidal rapids. The rapids are famous for their spectacular whirlpools and whitewater. The difference in water levels between one side of the rapids and the other sometimes exceeds 2 metres in height. Current speeds can exceed 30km/hr. On a 3 metre tide, 200 billion gallons of water flow through the narrows connecting Sechelt and Jervis Inlet.

Tidal Flat - that's a new term to me. But this tidal flat is teeming with life, if one is patient and observant. I've been searching (with limited success) this area for over three weeks now, for birds and dragonflies.
The Fiddler Crabs are quite abundant, as are the Mangrove Tree Crabs. The Fiddlers seem to disperse quickly as I approach, and the tree crabs scoot around to the other side of the tree trunk or root upon my arrival. I have however, learned how to sneak up on them, both on the shell-covered pathway, and on the well-constructed boardwalk.
I've spotted (and photographed) a couple of species of Dragonflies, including one or more of the Saddlebags variety - photos to follow.
On this day, I discovered this beautiful Dragonfly, and was able to get off a few shots from a distance. One step closer and the little one scooted off into the wild somewhere.
I believe this to be a Slaty Skimmer. ID confirmation or correction is welcome.
