late afternoon

What a perfect time for a walk on the beach!

I headed into the Parker River National Wildlife Refuge late yesterday afternoon after closing up the visitor center (at the end of my volunteer shift). The sky was covered with clouds as I looked to the south but patches of bright blue provided decoration to the north. I shared the beach with the birds - sea gulls and sanderlings - and a few other people.

Walking along the beach at low tide and listening to the sound of the waves feeds a strong sense of peace.
