ocean cleared

Yesterday's destination, the Parker River National Wildlife Refuge, was chosen as a good place to walk after the snowstorm earlier in the week. The tides of the ocean cleared the beach of snow, leaving a good surface for walking.

I usually prefer to walk the beach as the tide is flowing out. My timing was off yesterday - I arrived about an hour after low tide. That meant I needed to pay attention to the ocean; amazingly my attempt to keep my feet dry was successful.
