I’ve been spending quite a bit of time walking the beach lately…
Checking out the shells….
Enjoying the play of light on some special shells….
Checking out the birds….
and noticing that the beach peas are pushing up through the sand already….
With all the unhappy news we’ve had this week, the beach has been a good place to find some solace….
is always better than a day at the office, don’t you think? I am very lucky because in many ways the beach, the woods, the ponds and the fields are my offices. They are the places i gather inspiration for my writing and for my art. They are where I work the best.
I love seeing the opreys on their nests
and watching a mockingbird search for food, singing all the while…
I love finding shells that look like the bleached out skeletons they really are….
and I love finding the washed up egg cases of whelks that look like twisted backbones along the high tide wrack…
And I love seeing the little piping plovers running in and out of the quiet waves as the tide recedes…
yep, a day at the beach sure beats a day inside an office….
