Beach woodland by shepherdman

Beach woodland

As Squamish River, British Columbia, slows down before spilling into Howe Sound, it no longer has the energy to carry sand particles, and so deposits the sand into the river bed, and tides and floods spread sand to the river edges creating a curious hybrid of young woodland and beach, with a layered backdrop of the Coastal Mountains. We went for a few walks along these beaches, because the locals assured us that we would be sure to see Sea Eagles. During two trips to Squamish we have yet to see a single Sea Eagle.
With those high mountains there would be a lot of shade in this valley! Sand looks nice for a picnic!

Very pretty. Interesting contrast.

It does look odd to see so much sand at the base of those mountains.

Great layers here. I might have cloned out that little twig in the upper left, but wouldn't change a thing in the main scene. Fascinating to see the mountains, brush, and sand, such distinct layers.

Interesting landscape. Such a pity that you didn't get to see a sea eagle.

Was the Shepherd travelling with you? Would that explain the absence of Sea Eagles? :)

Blue hills are always a winner, and interesting backstory.
