My Wanderings 2022 - On my Walk - Low Tide Brings Sea Treasures

Sea Star

Low tide always brings sea life closer to viewing pleasure.  This week I poked, explored and got wet as looked for treasures.....

Part of my pledge to myself this year was to learn new things and have new experiences.  I'm trying to learn more about the plant life and animals I'm seeing.  I have identified what I can, now I will check some resources and work on figuring out some of the others.

365 days of images - - Day 239 - August 26, 2021 - Linda's Intuitive Images LMH -- Black Tail Deer at the Tidal Pools

Please click on image below to online store. 

The morning started with black tailed deer at the tidal pools at Asilomar State Beach.  A very pleasant surprise to see them there.  I stayed off to the side and watched them for some time.  I love when I get the opportunity to see them by the ocean.  

Clear water at the pools.  It seemed like a lesson for the young deer. 

Black tailed deer normally breed in November and December.

Doe gives birth to one fawn or twins in the spring.

Black tailed deer eat a great variety of grasses, lichens, shrubs, and trees, including western red cedar, willow, salmonberry, red alder, and even poison oak.

They seem to be a smaller deer.  The bucks hang together, sometimes I see them by the shore.  It seems that the doe and fawns are all over the place right now.

I poked around looking at what else would show up in the pools. 

For Phil

Love and miss you.
