Low Tide walk
Garden
Tipsy and I walked home from the shops…
.
.
Sails
…and the tide was wa-a-y out…
.
.
Cup
…so we took the shortcut that only works when it is a very low tide. We saw beachcombing delights…
.
.
Heron
…and geese and a heron…
.
.
Swoop
…and sat on swooping driftwood…
.
.
Tidepool
…and examined tide pools…
.
.
Splash
…and fell in to tide pools…
.
.
Wet
…and got wet…
.
.
Scrub
…and scrubbed off sand and salty water in the baththub when we got home!

Quimper Hittys 
Super bathmat in the Hitty bathroom! Almost worth getting wet for!
Thanks! I wove the bath mat ages ago, using strips we cut of coloured plastic bags. It keeps their floor from getting wet after splashes!
What an exciting walk…so happy the tide pool incident was not more traumatic. Love those walks along the ocean….living vicariously from the land locked midwest.
Tides are something I have not experienced much.. how fascinating and so beautiful!
We have to be very aware of tides here! There are big changes in landscape, beaches appear and vanish during the day, and you have to know when that is happening so you don’t get stuck somewhere or swept away. Sea going boats have tide charts – they don’t want to get wrecked on a rock!
Oopsy doopsy Tipsy. Those tide pools can be mesmerizing. What a wonderful walk!
Tipsy leaned over, and a gust of wind blew up – splash! It was a wonderful walk, we loved the rambling along the beach part especially.
I especially admire that first photo of the garden and it’s flowers. One learns and gains so much from your walks.
Those little flowers are so pretty – clumps of them seem to be all over the neighbourhood at this time of year, I think we might try and see if there is a corner of our garden they would like to live in.
oh no Tipsy – face down! There are crabs and other wiggly things in those pools, better just to paddle your feet in the water.
Tipsy and Agathe are the two Hittys that we know who have actually ever landed in a tide pool like the original Hitty does in the storybook!! We are glad it doesn’t happen too often!
I loved going on your walk with you. You saw so many neat things. The flowers in the first photo are just lovely.
They are pretty aren’t they? We are interested in finding out what they are so we can try and grow some in our garden too!
The rocks by those pools can be very slippery. Thank goodness Tipsy wasn’t hurt! The bath must have been very welcome.
Little wooden dolls float! And the tide pool was very shallow…we enjoyed the entire walk even the splash, but indeed the bath at the end was very welcome!
You and Tipsy had an awesome low tide walk! The up close photo of her – it nearly seems like she is really smiling at us and there is a soul in there!
