Wow…that was a productive beach walk before work this morning!

We walked down just in time for the sunrise- beautiful.  Saw a few dolphins actively feeding, with seagulls and osprey nearby to join them for breakfast.  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.  Even through it seemed impossible, the “foot” prints looked like those from 2 horses.  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!  He (or she) was well camouflaged with the brown dune grass, and we were careful not to disturb the seal’s nap.  We zoomed in for a quick photo and continued on following the prints.

And then the horses appeared!  2 men were riding back along the hard sand and in the gully.  They stopped to say hello- and I mentioned that this was a first!  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.  What a morning!
