Haida Gwaii Beach Walk

Club Moss.

Constance and Tansy visited Haida Gwaii in August and went on several walks to North Beach. The dunes are covered with interesting plants, like wild strawberries and this amazing club moss – a member of the Lycopodium family,  one of those plants that is virtually unchanged since the time of the dinosaurs.

Salal Berries

These salal plants are very small, It certainly rains enough, but perhaps they don’t get saturated with enough water on the dunes.  The berries were plentiful and delicious! I have never known a Quimper Hitty to pass up an opportunity to pick and eat some fresh berries.

North Beach.

After climbing up and down and over several sand dunes, Tansy and Constance finally arrive at the beach.  Wow.  You can even see Alaska on a day as clear as this!

Sandpiper Footprints.

Some of the most beautiful things are the most ephemeral...
