Saltar’s Point Park

We had a beautiful afternoon on the last day of our visit with our son and his family, so they took Hubby and I to Salter’s Point Park to enjoy the beach.

Saltar's Point Park

I loved it all…the sun, the ocean, the smells, the sounds, the colors, the textures, the critters, the train and the family time!

Clicking on a photo will give you a closer look!

“I do not know what I may appear to the world, but to myself I seem to have been only like a boy playing on the seashore, and diverting myself in now and then finding a smoother pebble or a prettier shell than ordinary, whilst the great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me.” -Isaac Newton

“Don’t let the waves of others drown out your own ocean song. Hold your heart as though it was a seashell. And listen to it. Listen to its music. To the whispers of your ocean within. And then swim.” -S. C. Lourie

“Can I be as serene and simple as this bleached shell, rubbed smooth by wind and water, receiving and releasing, filling and emptying and filling again, eternally receptive to the currents of life?” -Katrina Kenison

“A beach is not only a sweep of sand, but shells of sea creatures, the sea glass, the seaweed, the incongruous objects washed up by the ocean.” -Henry Grunwald

I had the opportunity to take a trip to the coast to visit family and support my oldest grandson.

When did he get this big?

I am super proud of this graduate!  He had a drive-through ceremony…quite different from the normal tradition!

The family treated my Hubby and I to a day trip to Tolmie State Park, a marine area covering 154 acres on Nisqually Beach on Puget Sound.

This is a great day use park for picnicking, hiking, strolling along the beach, practicing one’s photography skills, crabbing, clamming, swimming, bird watching, etc.  I loved it here!

This little crab thinks he’s camouflaged!

This poor sea creature somehow lost its shell.

The creature was alive at the time that I took these photos.  Perhaps someone can tell me what it is, and if it can grow another shell?
