Sunny and Low Tide

Late this afternoon the beach was empty and the 

tide was at its' lowest so we walked to the end that

is closest to the island.

The textures in the sand were striking.

First spring flowers to appear in our yard

was the witch hazel.

Ten Ten

October 10th is a special day for us...

and the weather was perfect...mid 70's

in the morning at 10:10
the ocean was calm as butterflies
sailed by...

it's our anniversary...


over at Great Hill the cormorants were sunning themselves
as the ocean sparkled...


the amaranth looked so fancy!



Late afternoon, the light was so beautiful...
bittersweet led the way to the path to
Goose Rocks beach...



As we were waiting for the moon to rise,
a chevron of Canada geese flew by in the distance.

down by the water's edge sandpipers and
a gull were in close proximity...

a cormorant flew out to sea...

the light was soft and beautiful...
very calm.

someone had left a giant message in the sand
written with seaweed that said:
"here comes the sun"




a gull flew past the moon...

the color faded from the ocean and the moon
rose higher in the sky and softly ushered in
the night.

One Path

Just one path led through the snow banks
to the beach that
some kind and ambitious person shoveled!

Beach Walk

This afternoon we took a brisk walk on a favorite
beach...glad to have brought my scarf and mittens!
Beautiful clouds but very chilly...

Breezy and Cool

The weather has been changeable once again...
A few days ago we found a spot to sit near the ocean
to savor cool breezes and dream!

I love the peacefulness of this special beach
and enjoy watching the plovers, pipers and ducks
along the shore.

Hope the summer breezes are reaching you!

Beautiful Light at the Beach

The light tonight was so soft and clear...
a calm beautiful early evening as
we walked along the shore.

The Sun Returns

The sun returns and with it some strange sitings at the beach.
First of all, this man appeared to be walking on water!


As I continued my walk, through the sound
of the sea and the wind, I heard another sound.

This fellow was practicing playing the bagpipe
on a little peninsula by the ocean, probably
so as not to disturb his neighbors.

By chance, on the way to Goose Rocks Beach
we saw a gathering of Canada geese.

At Goose Rocks, I had to photograph a
house that I am going to paint for a house portrait.
The sun eventually lit up Timber Island revealing
a glimpse of autumn colors. In the distance, I saw
some strange looking ducks. When I looked them
up in my bird book, they turned out to be surf scoters.
