to Parker River

The ocean called to me yesterday.

I answered the call by heading to the Parker River National Wildlife Refuge for a walk by the sea. I arrived about 2 hours before low tide, an excellent time to wander on the edge of the beach. I should have been able to keep my feet dry but somehow I again managed not to get out of the way as the waves rolled in.

There must have been snowy owls entertaining folks on the inland side of the island as I saw a line of people with long lenses and scopes peering inland. That meant I had the beach almost to myself. I saw only a few other people as I walked on the beach, spending most of my time alone with the sound of the waves.
