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.

Rainy Sunday

it was raining at the beach...

many seagulls gathered on the shore...
my favorite little shore birds were also there
if you look here.
They made a gray rainy day feel good.

Gulls and Shoes

In the early evening, we met our friend at the beach
who is visiting Maine from Virginia. She shared
her leftover pizza with the gulls who scrambled
and fought over it!

It was very very cold as we took a walk on the
beach.

We spotted something sitting upon a log that
had washed ashore.
Upon closer inspection, we realized it was
a high heeled shoe!

quite the contrast to our friends' red shoes and
D's boots!
