Tides, Oysters, Houses, and Halloween 🏖🦪🏡🎃

I had many lovely walks around Arcachon Bay these days, and today I'm showing you some scenes from the Beach Pointe aux Chevaux in Petit Piquey. This is a small coastal village in the Gironde department in southwestern France.

It was last Sunday just before Halloween, so you can see some relevant decorations on local houses.

This region is known for oyster farming, and there is even an oyster museum in Gujan-Mestras, the commune where I am at the moment.

The seaside view changes a lot depending on the tide. At different times of the day, I felt like walking along a sandy beach or a muddy swamp.

上周日万圣节前夕在Petit Piquey的海滩上走了走，现在就来分享一些随拍。

这块地区以生蚝养殖而闻名，沙滩旁遍布卖生蚝的小棚屋。还看到很多松树、木头房子和万圣节装饰。海边的景色随着潮汐而改变。

The tide was quite high in the late morning:
上午涨潮时:

I went there again after about 4 hours in the afternoon. As you can see from my photos below, the view was clearly different.

等到下午再过去时，那些小艇已经搁浅:

In comparison to the more popular and crowded spots near Arcachon, this small beach on the Cap Ferret peninsula is much quieter. Furthermore, it was not peak season for tourists, so it felt even more secluded. Walking around here in this season with the perfect temperature was really relaxing and enjoyable.

这个时节气温正好，沿着安静的海湾散步很舒服惬意。

Oysters, oysters and oysters:
到处都是生蚝:

Also plenty of seafood cabins along the beach, and some of them firmly and proudly state that only oysters are sold:

标牌上坚决地写着: 只卖生蚝，别指望能吃喝到其他不相干的东西。

I adore the numerous wooden structures such as windows, fences, and trellises nestled among the green trees of pine, olive, palm, bamboo, and banana...as well as the abundance of vibrant flowers and fruits in every corner, so full of life!

很喜欢这些郁郁葱葱的花草树木和无处不在的木质结构:

A friendly lady passing by told me this fruit is edible, and she picked one to demonstrate. It tasted like a cross between a strawberry and an apricot to me. My phone app identified it as a strawberry tree?

见我在给这树拍照，一位路过的女士特意停下来，跟我说这果子可以吃，还摘了一颗示范，吃完又摘了一颗塞给我，叫我也尝尝，真是可爱😄。吃起来像是草莓和杏子的杂交，我还用手机app识别了下，说是草莓树?😳
