Idyllic Days at Seahurst

Another adventure to beautiful Seahurst Park where I enjoyed the sounds and sights of the woods and the water. 

The last time I went to Seahurst with my dog Oscar, we passed several people coming the opposite direction holding two big animal crates. Much to my disappointment, the crates were empty of animals. But I was not subtle with my nosy peers into the crates, and one of the member's of the group stopped to talk to me. She said that the crates had otters in them that were rehabilitated by PAWS (a local animal welfare group that does wildlife rehabilitation). The otters were healed and ready to return to the wild. So the group of people had just completed releasing the otters. I was so excited and disappointed at the same time. Excited because of otters! Disappointed because I had just missed witnessing the sight on my own. If only I had been there a bit earlier, I may have been able to see the otters. But now when I am at Seahurst, I always look for otters splashing about out in the water. Even thought I haven't seen them yet, I know they are out there.

While at Seahurst, I have seen different forms of wildlife though. Sometimes I'll see a little seal pop up it's head from the shore, or I'll see a bald eagle soar by. There are always lots of seabirds to admire.

There are also lots of charming canines walking with their people along Seahurst. One time I went on a nature walk through the woods of Seahurst. The wooded path led to the shore and just as I emerged, a floppy little puppy came bounding toward me, all cuddles and puppy wiggles. His name was Henry. Then months and months later, I was at Seahurst again and just as I got to the same place where I met Henry, who do I see, but Henry! All grown up! Puppies grow so quickly.

It's great having such a beautiful nature park right by my house. I never get tired of being in the woods or on the shore, surrounded by all the beauty!
