5pm, along the dyke trail in East Steveston
We call this area "Steveston East," "Steveston Farms," and "London Landing." It is just a way of saying "along the Fraser River upstream of Steveston village." The tide was very low tonight, just about as low as my mood because it was dark and very chilly.
This shows the exposed rock bridge, the only way to walk to Steveston Island... just time it right, or else you will be camping with the herons and hungry eagles... and maybe a coyote or two.
This cold didn't stop these excited folks from lighting off fireworks on the dock at London Landing. Hey, where's the party? They were having a better time than the rest of us who were sitting at the old boat ramp.
Several dozen sandpipers were sprinting around the exposed shoreline. They were so cute! And they moved so fast!
Upstream view of pilings, and what would have been Mount Baker had the gloom of the clouds not obscured the mountain peak. Ah, oh well....
