The coast is calling!

I can't tell you if my late afternoon activity started as a visit to Yummies to pick up some old-fashioned candy as a distraction for my brother, or if it started as a desire to play with my camera along the New Hampshire coast. Not that it matters since I managed to fit both activities in to my little trek...

Someone was clearly busy (likely earlier in the day) constructing this rock "monument" on top of a bigger rock. Fun!

As I stopped at this pond (or somewhat swampy area) on the side of the road opposite the ocean, I apparently startled this beaver - at least I think that's who this is - and he quickly jumped from the shore into the water and started swimming.

His re-entry to land was still not too far from where I was standing.

Do you think this seagull was laughing at the antics of the beaver?
