Hi fellow Hiveians,

Today I wanted to share a few photos from some weeks back that I recently got to editing.

Beachy Monochrome Monday

The beach.. for sure one of the most relaxing places, at least where we go!

I'm not a huge fan of the white-sandy beaches type thing. Yeah it's cool to make sand castles and stuff, and lay on the sand for a while but I am much more of an active person. I would rather be walking around the beach, playing in the water and things like that. I don't get a lot of enjoyment out of just laying on the sand..

We went to a few different beaches weeks back and I unfortunately took some time to finally get the photos onto my computer so I can use them, but it's great to finally get caught up with things like that!

The beaches that I prefer to go to are the ones we see below. Lots of rocks, and things to look at! It's cool going to any beach, really, but if I had my choice of a beach, it would be one that was easy to access, and had lots of great rocks like this one here!

This is for sure where the little man and I spend a lot of our fun time when we are at the beach. We occasionally will switch it up and play with other things, but it's some great fun to hit the waves, dig into the rocks and find some critters. We let most of them go of course, except if we find some good invasive species crabs. We feed those fellas to the birds! Gotta help the local ecology, and the species that is native, to push out the invasive ones!

It's kind of funny when we get looks from people when we feed the seagulls. Sometimes we get to talk to them afterwards, and tell them about the fact that these are highly invasive and destructive crabs for the local wildlife. Most of the time when they hear us explain that type of thing to them, they back off and are not as annoyed with seeing it. I think that's good, because it's also important to help the local stuff!

I think one of the other fun things about the tide pools and the rocks that we spend our time around is that they can be pretty awesome to look at, and dramatic! I love when the water is completely still, and looks like glass like this. It's not too often that you get that to happen with an ocean nearby! There was also no wind, so that was good.

The myriad of colors and interesting shapes, textures and shit all over the place in these tide pools is really remarkable. I think it's one of the reasons I've really grown to like playing in the tide pools. It's one of those subconscious things that you don't really notice.. but thinking back on what attracts you to them, it's stuff like this.

Flipping the photos, especially the last one, into black and white was really cool. I love getting the glass-still shots like this, because I for sure use one or two other ones that I have just like this, fairly regularly in my posts!
