September 25-27, 2015 – Montague Harbour, Galiano Island

On our first day at Montague we were boat bound, due to the blustery weather. Luckily, the weather improved dramatically on our second day, with wall-to-wall blue skies and calm winds. While paddling around the shoreline at low tide, looking for photo ops, I found this cluster of colorful Sea Stars and other intertidal sea life living under a submerged log.

This guy really gave me a workout trying to get his photo.  I tried to get a good shot of him on a dock, but each time I got him framed just right, the wind would blow me around.  Finally, he flew into a nearby tree, thinking he could escape me.

The sea has carved the sandstone along the shore into really interesting and bizarre reliefs.

While I was studying the interesting rocks, I spotted this little bandit ambling along the shore looking for tidbits.
