at high tide

A mid-day high tide pulled me to the coast to walk.

My first glimpse of the water came as I headed seaward along route 101. I was amazed at the unbroken stretch of very high inland water, high enough for me to remember to check the tide charts when I returned home. Today's mid-day high tide showed at 10.3 feet, a bit above the tides that show for most other days of the month. (The high tides shown ranged from 7.2 feet to 10.3 feet, no wonder it seemed like so much water!)

I followed the coast to the north, stopping often to walk, to soak in the beauty.
