Salish Sea, PacificNorthwest
Yesterday I got out onto the beach for a slow stroll. Nothing dramatic going on, but if you look around there are always seashore things to see.
What’s flowering?
Peak season for yellow flowers on the beach.
Burweed’s fruits are nasty spiky burs that stick onto anything, stabbing your ankles and hands if you try to dislodge them. Right now the fruits are just beginning to develop. From here on out for the rest of the summer I’ll give this common sprawling plant a wide berth, find a spot clear of it to walk down onto the beach.
This was the first walk on the beach in a week or so — not been able to walk or bicycle down there due to a disabling flare up. I’ve missed the fresh salty air and sand under my feet! Mr O drove me the quarter mile there from our house: the best birthday present I can imagine :)

Sunny today in the PNW islands with moderate temps in the 60s.
