Wow…that was a productive beach walk before work this morning!
We walked down just in time for the sunrise- beautiful. Â Saw a few dolphins actively feeding, with seagulls and osprey nearby to join them for breakfast. Â A pair of oyster catchers squawked as we walked along the water’s edge.
I found 2 nice pieces of sea glass…and then we noticed odd prints in the sand as we headed south. Â Even through it seemed impossible, the “foot” prints looked like those from 2 horses. Â But that couldn’t be, right?
We followed the prints for a bit, and then glanced up toward the dune line to see a resting seal! Â He (or she) was well camouflaged with the brown dune grass, and we were careful not to disturb the seal’s nap. Â We zoomed in for a quick photo and continued on following the prints.
And then the horses appeared! Â 2 men were riding back along the hard sand and in the gully. Â They stopped to say hello- and I mentioned that this was a first! Â They wished us a Happy Easter and literally, rode into the sunrise 🙂
This sounds like an April Fool’s post, yet we have pictures to verify. Â What a morning!
Spring of 2021
I’m realizing that much of last spring and early summer is a blur.
As local businesses start to re-open for the season, I am trying to remember how we all managed to navigate the shut down and ever changing restrictions. Â It’s incredible that most businesses survived…and by mid to late summer, even thrived!
2021 is off to a better start.
Masks around town are the norm. Â Outdoor dining will continue to be the preference of many. Â My office window remains open (and thankfully, improved temperatures so I’m not freezing out my co-workers!)
Like all of you, we have adjusted, and continue to be so grateful to maintain our shore economy!
