CAPE DISAPPOINTMENT SP, 45 mile jump

Penny did her Tai Chi in a clearing in the trees overlooking Willipa Bay. I did my meditations and we left around 11am feeling excited that we could stay at least a week in one place to catch our breath, do some reading, writing, relaxing. Yes!

Walking down to the beach, we were astonished to find black sand that had glitter in it. We came upon two men digging the sand and running it though a sluice to draw out the gold. Sorry, we could photograph the black sand but not the sparkles.

There were interesting things to photograph all around. The North Head Lighthouse, the rock formations at the base of the north head, the driftwood, the seabirds, and a Bald Eagle which flew towards us about 20’ above the sand. I decided to be in the moment and put my camera down. It watched us as it flew by; we spun around to watch his brilliant white tail disappear as it moved away. Magical! Thank You!
