Duke Rd Sunrise

Sunrise a few mornings ago proved to be a spectacular one here in Metchosin. Just off of Duke Rd is a small path leading to the ocean side which offers a great  panoramic view. The bay was filled with seals, sea birds, Herons, and even a Bald Eagle all awaiting the morning light to start their day.

If any one was lucky enough to catch this mornings sunrise, it surely was a  sight. I awoke at 7:15am and realized it was perfect conditions for a great sky and by 7:30am I was standing on the edge of the Pacific at Tower Point with the most magical scene in front of me. Nature truly knows how to put on a show when she wants too!
