A Littlr Break at Home

 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.
