Waterfront Living

Today my wife and I went for a drive to Point Roberts, a small sliver of the United States situated just south of Tsawwassen, BC. There really isn’t much there. A marina, a grocery store, a home centre, and a few gas stations are the main retail services. It remains relatively rural although there are a few expensive waterfront developments.

Speaking of waterfront, these old pilings that are no longer in use have become prime real estate for this group of Cormorants. What a fabulous view they have and they don’t pay a penny for it. Ownership does not exist. It is a first come first served kind of thing and there is a constant rotation or sharing. They even let some Seagulls hang out with them.

I wish it was the same with humans. Unfortunately ownership does exist in our world and only a select wealthy few get the privilege of owning and enjoying beautiful spots such as waterfront properties that the rest of us can only dream about having.
