Wow. Great shot. That's a lot of oysters. Do you dig them to sell them commercially?

How interesting to have talked with him about his work with oysters. Thanks for telling.

We have some oyster "farmers" here, but they are kind of remote, so I've not talked with one. I'd love to know what growing them entails.

the oyster worker brings empty o.shells to the beach and plants them amongst growing oyster beds.The seed is on the planted shell.The living oyster spread their spawn and fertilize the seeds on the empty shell.And that's how baby oysters are cultivated.There is a lot of theft in the night.So says the oyster man.Not personal use mind you but whole beds of babies that get scooped and planted on other lease areas.

Too bad there are thieves that rip them off like that. That's a lot of investment in time and money taken from them. They can go bankrupt and not recover financially from losing all to some unethical thieving jerks.

Maybe, if they had armed guards....just saying.....

I just googled a superficial search and wicapedia says archeology is in compleat"duh" but some believe several thousand years of people inhabitating this region.No one I know would take a guess. It's to long to remember.

can you see the snow on the mountain on Vancouver Island?
This is how the boat people store their firewood here.

high tide can cover it

It can also take it away. At least here it can. We have extreme tides of over thirty feet.

We like to store our firewood so it stays dry. Easy to burn that way. Lol.

Edited to add; that's a nice image.

An Alaskan outhouse in the woods. Many folks in Alaska have outhouses rather than inside toilets.

This one has saloon doors and lace curtains. LOL.
