Today I returned to where I started this crazy idea--back to the Padilla Bay Trail. I was able to walk a bit farther today; the wind wasn't blowing; but my pace wasn't much faster than 21 days ago. Guess that's just as fast as my short little legs will go. It was a very nice day for a walk, though, and the tide was out, so it was like walking in a totally different place. Unfortunately I left my camera card at home, so I was relegated to taking photos with my cell phone. A few turned out okay, and some even have a sort of surreal effect to them since I had to zoom in--and cell phones weren't really designed for that.
I really enjoyed the walk with the tide out; there were ducks everywhere digging down into the mud flats finding some good grub. I saw mallards, drakes, pintails of some sort, ruddy ducks, and of course seagulls. I look forward to going back out again when the tide is out; the landscape is so different. The day was very clear, too, and I could see Mt. Baker and the Cascade Range to the southeast. On days like this, I think about how fortunate I am to live in such a scenic place.
