A call to the coast

Ah, it's President's Day, one of those odd holidays where the office is closed. It's good to have an extra day off; the crisp bright day pulled me to the coast for an afternoon wander.

I headed to the Parker River National Wildlife Refuge, a place that has fast become a favorite of mine. The temperature was hovering around 40, but a brisk wind dictated layers. That shouldn't be much of a surprise since it is still winter, should it?

It was a sparkling day, blue skies, sun, wind, the sound of the ocean, birds wandering the salt marsh, canada geese sitting still, flying. Beautiful.
