January At The Beach

My sister Annie and I went for a 

quick walk on the beach yesterday.

We haven't had a lot of snow so far this

 Winter, but very cold temperatures.

Since the temperature was 3deg Celsius, 

or 36 deg F,  warmer than usual, 

we decided to take a walk on the beach

We didn't stay long, the wind was very

 chilly and a snow storm was in the

  forecast for today.

The Baie des Chaleur

in Eastern Quebec.

We collect seaglass and 

other treasures of the sea.

My sister Annie found this piece of pottery.

When we got home we realized it 

has a photo on the other side...

the other side

I do collect these holey stones

or hag rocks.

I am thankful for my new warm mittens.

the bottom and thumb opens.

Invented for phone users.

excellent for beachcombers also.

A scallop shell

Annie, we cannot go further.

These people have a camper on the beach

and had all these rock placed to prevent erosion,

which causes a barrier that prevents people from 

walking further. We can't continue to the brook.

The beach is not private property,

 it is federal waters. 

Why are they permitted to do this?

This has been going on for year,

I just feel like complaining today.

At the beginning of this video,

one can see we cannot pass.

The rock go out to the water.

Further down the beach...

A surveyor's pole.

Because of erosion this land

has turned into beach.

I don't know what this

 huge wire cage is used for,

I assume it has floated

 over from New Brunswick.

There are others also.

Erosion

Despite the cold, we enjoyed our 

walk and the treasures we found.

Thanks for your visit.

Enjoy the rest of Winter.
