fun watching the tides

It has been fun sitting here by the waterline and watching the tides come in and go out.  These pictures were taken from our dinette window.

this is high tide

 and low tide

The high tide seems to be in the evening so that is why that picture is a bit darker.  The low tide picture was taken earlier today.  This morning we also watched a seagull collect something from the shallow waters and then walk up to a rocky part of the low tide beach and drop it.  It then picked it up and jumped up 2 or 3 feet and dropped it again.  It did that several times and I guess whatever it was working on opened up so it could then eat the morsel inside.  We watched that happen 2-3 times this morning.
