A day at the lighthouse - we missed the kites but very beautiful

 Almas is ready to go.
 Anyone know these wild flowers?
 the lighthousefrom a different view than we've seen before
 Great day on the coast
 
 
 
 
 
 Seals or sea lions on the rock
 
 A hang glidder - but this one had an engine with a fan behind the seat as there was almsot no wind
 Three shots of the glidder over the lighthouse
 
 



All of these were taken as we went to the lighthouse as part of Daffidill Weekend.  They had seom profesisonal kite flyers but by the time we got there the wind had stopped and the kites were no longer in the air.  But it was a grand day for a walk.

This crab feed was for the Pt Arena High School baseball team - it payed for transportation, uniforms, etc.  With the State's fiscal crisis, the State gives the school much less.  Like the other 4 or 5 crab feeds we gorged ourselves in crab and have 2 1/2 left for anotehr dinner
