knitting at False Outer Point

Its the beginning of summer mode around here now. which means there are going to be serious stretches between postings. or postings on rainy days,

early in the am before the sun comes up or before the tides are right.

yesterday, i went to pay bills with my hubby who was suffering desperately to get out and fish. when done we didn't stop for a thing we just grabbed his fishing gear my knitting and drove out the road to False Outer Point. Getting in a rush means forgetting to take a few things like the camera or the cam corder ugh the cell phone took nothing but blue photos but i am posting the best of those anyway.

Even the dogs were taken with awe but i swear everyone could walk that beach with no problems but me. i lagged seriously behind even the old dog. dragging the drinks and the knitting bag and my cushion with me i walked slower then mud. carefully picking my way through sand and boulders.

as you go the rocks seem to just get bigger and tougher to walk over and around and through. once there hubby went out near the ocean and i found a large rock to sit on thank god for cushions

The men directly in front of me caught 4 large king salmon right off the bat. as i sat and knit a dish cloth. and looked up at the most breath taking view i swear i never grow tired of. massive expanses of water, mountains and the glacier off in the distance. Forrest's as far as the eye can see. the only tell tail sign your anywhere near civilazation is the road to town and the parking lot way off in the distance . Seagulls occasionally swooping down to grab at what the fisherman had cleaned out of the fish they caught. along with ravens crows and the small rock varmint i saw scamper happily off with his piece of the action.

time passed way to fast sitting there on the rock watching the action in front of me. i had 1/2 a dish cloth done by the time hubby gave up and decided to leave. i guess he bought the wrong bait couldn't find the smaller Herring anywhere and thought maybe cutting it up would help . didn't work. so he said today he is searching for the right one and then were back at it again. right after work. maybe we will come home with a fish today. one never knows. either way. i will be remembering the camera today so i can get better shots of the scenery in front of me as i sit and knit.

on our hike back to the truck we saw an eagle swoop down on the water and gently take a salmon out with his talons and fly off with it. later on as we drove home we saw the same eagle sitting along side the road in a rock encloser eating his catch . slowed down to take a picture and away he went. so we left figured if we did he would come back and finish his meal.
