Science at pounders

It's Siwa's birthday this week, so she's taking a break today.  I'm filling in for her with some shots of our day at Pounders Beach.  We drove out to Pounders one day last week for science class to study the estuary.  The river meets the sea there but is usually separated by a barrier of sand .  We got to see firsthand erosion, deposition, mini avalanches and what it looks like to see a canyon or gorge carved out by water over time.

These two are facing the river.  Ironwoods grow right up to the water's edge.

A glorious day!
