a warm November day

Today was a gift of a day, a taste of warmth in November.

It felt perfect for a beach walk. I checked the tide chart for Plum Island and found that low tide this afternoon was scheduled for 4:59 pm. That's just after sunset, and sunset is the closing time for the Parker River National Wildlife Refuge.

Walking at the mid-point between high and low tide felt like it would work. I arrived at the refuge at 2 pm, left the car in parking lot 3, and headed south on the beach. There were a few other people on the beach but I was alone for the most part, walking, listening to the sound of the ocean.

It was a perfect time for a walk by the ocean.
