A walk along the coast in the Parker River National Wildlife Refuge sounded good to me today. Low tide was at 9:43 AM, perfect!
I drove there under clear blue skies. The weather wizard listened to my wishes though; the sky was decorated with patterns of white clouds as I walked.
The rain eased up this morning triggering me to wander outside with my camera. As soon as I started walking the rain returned.
It was a wet walk but it was good too.
While most maple trees in the area continue to wear green one tree shows a pop of red at the tip of a single leaf.
A thistle in pink tops spiky parts of the plant.
It decorates a garden as autumn creeps in.
I don't know what triggered me to check the tide chart for Plum Island yesterday afternoon but I'm glad that I did. Low tide at 4:27 pm created a space for a good walk at the Parker River National Wildlife Refuge.
As always, it was beautiful!
Meterological autumn started yesterday, a good time for an early evening walk in a garden. While flowers continue to bloom, colors are darker or fading.
This deep beauty is a dark purple drumstick allium.
