During low tides, I love exploring the tide pools at Cannon
Beach, where all kinds of anemones, sea stars and other strange, wonderful and
colorful critters cling to the rocks. Unfortunately, huge swarms of sand flies
were also hanging out by the tide pools, driving me crazy! Every time I stopped
to do a sketch, these extremely annoying flies would light all over my face,
neck, sketchbook, brush – everywhere! Needless to say, I only did a couple of
quick sketches.
One of the most surprising critters I sketched on this trip
wasn’t in the tide pools – it was on a whimsical sculpture of a sea captain
that stands outside the Hallmark Inn where we stayed. I spotted something between
the captain’s legs – it turned out to be a pair of snails!
