This week Trish and I have had a little respite on the island. Autumn here is so beautiful and so we had to head out to our beach to enjoy one of the wonderful days.
We saw a total on four people on the beach, and this was the “busy” beach: the one that has a large parking lot and is closest to town.
| Wide and almost empty now, this is where the lifeguards set up in the summer. |
We watched while both brown Pelicans and black cormorants fished in the waves. There were no visible dolphins out today.
| Cormorants head home after a day of fishing. |
This time of year the sea oats are ripening and the grasses take on their fall colors. These are our subtle color changes without many deciduous trees on the island.
| Can you spot the pelicans through the sea oats? |
We hang on to every nice autumn day knowing that colder weather will come all too soon.
