The weather has been wonderful the last couple weeks. The
sun combined with the recent low tide series has led me to do some exploring. A
few days ago, I decided to hike as far back into China Poot Bay as I could
along the beach. Although I’ve passed the cliffs on the shore many times in a
kayak, this was the first time I explored them on foot.
I took the time to walk into every cave and enjoy the view looking
back out toward the bay. The last cave I came to was stunning from the outside, but as I walked to the back of the cave the walls began to glow. I was there at just the right
moment, when the setting sun hit the last remaining icicles and turned them
bright orange. As I took the picture below, golden droplets falling from the
ice reflected the light and the plink pluck of dripping water echoed off the
cave walls.
This experience
reminded me of how much the bay truly has to offer. It’s so easy to pass by
places of mystery and beauty when you’re moving quickly. It’s so rewarding to
take the time to explore the hidden places we so often pass by.
