to Parker River

As the beach closure date (for the piping plover nesting season) at the Parker River National Wildlife Refuge approaches I like to get in a few final visits.

It was a sunny, warmish, and very windy afternoon when I arrived today to find both dry sand and swirling water. Since the tide was heading in I kept an eye on the ocean as my feet walked the sand near the water's edge.

It's always beautiful at Parker River!
