We have not had a lot to report on our Beach Schooling.  We have taken a bit of a learning break of marine life to focus more on the amazing changes on the coast with the spring.  Also – being involved with the Handbook of Nature Study Outdoor Challenges has kept us entertained right in our own yard. 🙂 However, the negative tides have been amazing.  Nate wakes me up around 6:30 a.m. to go out looking for debris, the hopeful float, and photograph.  The changes in the beach and tides and water levels are amazing.  So many shorebirds – its hard to describe the glory  of the creation! Here are a couple of rare pics of me on the beach. 🙂

NW 47th ish street by Chinook Winds – we walk up to Road’s End State Park – or we go from 72nd street to the cliffs at the end.
 
My favorite Beach sweatshirt – given to me years ago from my brother and sister in law.  Cozy, Warm, and has Big Pockets!
