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!

*Clicking on a photo will give you a closer look!
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?







It wouldn’t be the coast without a large slug!

I have more to share in another post!
Stay healthy! Stay safe!
Get out, if you can, and explore the world around you!
