Surfing the Rock Waves

I went on an adventure over the weekend! We had to get up super duper early - like 4:30 am. I just blinked a bit and let Mama pack me into her backpack. One of the benefits of being a little bear. By the time I woke up, we had already had a little ferry ride, a car ride, some hot chocolate time and were getting on another ferry!

This painted electrical box was a good "stretch-my-legs" break as we waited for the next ferry.

And this is the back of it!

There it is!! We are going to that island in the background. I'm not sure why we left our island to go to another island... but then people are beary strange!

This island is beautiful too - just like our island.

There are great viewpoints for little bears.

And sea birds poking around on the rocks. I would have gone closer except the rocks were slimy with algae and I might have slipped and gotten wet and dirty and gloppy!

You can see the big ferries from this island too... Mama was trying to take a photograph with both me and the boat in focus... but... it didn't work. Either the ferry was in focus and I was out of focus (above)...

Or, I was in focus and the ferry was out of focus... It could look like I'm going to catch the ferry!

So far this island is a lot like our island but... here we have something different! The sandstone along the shoreline has eroded to look like a wave curling over... beary cool!

And a perfect place for a little bear to explore.

Oh look, honeycomb rocks - I've seen these before!

Oh, this is cool!! I can get all scrunched up and stick upside down in the rock hollows! "Look Mama, no paws!!"

Just hanging around by one paw (and a bit of one butt cheek)!

 Oooh... I could play hide-and-seek here...

This place looks a bit like toe prints or a bear claw or something!

 Whew - that was great fun! And to cap it off... I found a penny!

It's from 1953... that's... let me see... that's 60 years old!

Oh... and we also stopped to take pictures of this Yogi rock... it has a broom and a hoe sticking out of it... not sure why!

And a distant view of a lighthouse on a little island and the North Shore mountains on the mainland.
