Being the nature snooper I am, I made sure to be down along the low-tide beaches in the early morning. I wanted to watch the sun rise. I planned for many photos, and many photos I did take! 
The pre-dawn moments were already alive with wildlife movements. Gulls were flying about. I saw a loon. Crows were cawing. I saw several Great Blue Herons as the seconds towards sunrise moved quickly. 
The beach, at low tide, had much seaweed, and rock weeds. These plants were of a yellow color, and extremely slippery to tread on. various mussels, and snail shells covered the beach. I gathered a few to give as gifts. 
I saw movement at my feet, and was surprised to see some unknown specie of crab. I played around with the little guy for a time. However, I stayed clear of anything that might pinch!
Great Blue Heron
I saw a slight bright crescent on the horizon line. It was the sun! I stood amazed as to how quickly the bright globe headed upwards. One could actually see the movement. 
I just walked about the beach taking photos as I walked along. As you have seen, I included some of the shots here to see the movement over a ten minute, or so, time frame.
A Loon.
