At Water's Edge


It was a somewhat hazy morning at first. The sky had a pinkish tinge - not quite red enough to warrant that we "take warning". There's not much I can say that would add to the images. It's a beautiful hour for a walk along the water's edge.

Our sands are not covered with tropical shells, but this morning the beach glistened with a myriad of small jellyfish, whole or in pieces, shining pink and white in the early morning sun.

A more usual sight along our sands is the horseshoe crab - they have preceded us by centuries and will still be inhabiting the shores here for centuries to come.

As the sun rose higher the breakfast line formed at surf's edge and the day began in earnest. I headed back toward's the house and my own breakfast.
