Y Walk on Cordova Bay beach

This morning the Y Walkers walked on Cordova Bay beach.  The weather was gorgeous.   The walk was very different from any we had done before taking place completely on the beach.   There was a glitch in the walk plan which was to be both beach and Mount Douglas Park.  Initially we were going to walk on the sand and back in through the park; however, the tide was in covering much of the sand so we ended scrambling over rocks and shale and wading through seaweed.  It slowed us down so we did a there and back which, from my point of view was a treat.  We saw adult eagles, herons, an otter sharing a rock with a young eagle, three deer on the beach by the shore (don't know what they were doing there) and so many star fish that it was like walking through star fish city. Some of the star fish look like daisies.  I touched one of the purple fatties and they have a solid, rough exterior.  Got some lovely pictures.  This is such a beautiful place to be.
