Breathing the sea air !

I decided to just take the dogs close to home today and headed down to a nearby beach.

I take the back trails to the beach as I love the long grasses and marshland here, it is so different to my usual terrain !

The dogs love it as well because there is the scent of rabbits everywhere,

This time of year I virtually have the beach to myself, I saw maybe three groups of people throughout the walk !

Maisy likes swimming out for Bull Kelp,

Not that she really needs to, the stuff is everywhere !

The Pacific Northwest Coast Indians used the Bull Kelp to make their fishing gear and storage containers.
All coastal First Peoples of British Columbia made fishing lines, nets, ropes, harpoon lines and anchor lines from Bull kelp.....pretty useful stuff !

This is definitely one of Maisy's favourite walking spots !!!

Great pics to see, I love to see Vancouver Island and used to visit at the end of October every year. Havent been for a decade, it has become such an expensive place to visit. I miss the smell of salt in the air.
