Deep into the briny blue

June 19, 2011 by Lois

The Bowen Island Nature Club, bowennatureclub.blogspot.com, is a group of Islanders dedicated to teaching the rest of us about the beauty, mystery and preservation of Bowens’s diverse natural bounty.

Last weekend they organized a deep sea tour in which participants didn’t even get wet.

Adam Taylor ventured out on the west side of the island to return with a startling array of wild sea creatures — a fantastic reminder that the earth always offers up much more than we ever remember to imagine.

WOW, what a beautiful assortment of starfish!
I did not realized they came in so many different sizes, colors and shapes.

When does school end at your end of the country.
3 days for us, then picnic.

  Yes — the assortment was astonishing. All the kids were agog at the whole spectacle — made them want to get out and swim!

Oh my. Jewels.

Always make me think when I see such things – After nature only the copyist. (spelling?)
