Today I hiked alone in the rain . . . it was heavenly. My husband drove me to the beach and read the newspaper in the car while I geared up and took to the trail in the rain. It's not all that often I care to hike alone anymore but I enjoyed having the trail all to myself today. With a panoramic view of the ocean and nothing to distract my thoughts, I took it all in and loved every bit of time to myself. I wasn't completely alone though, there were two egrets and a great blue heron watching my every move. I also had the tiny beach to myself where I gathered a few treasures. The two green 'beads' are from an air soft gun. At the height of the air soft gun frenzy the beaches were covered with these tiny plastic pellets. I found these scattered all over the parking lot today.
That looks absolutely beautiful and I am really jealous writing from a part of the Midwest where it is either absolutely freezing or swamplike, usually with the added bonus of some air pollution.
ReplyDeleteI was born in the county of Devon SW England and my hometown could have been set in that scene - very similar.
Anyway back to reality and kudos to you for attempting to keep the beach clean - pity that you have to though.
Hi Steve!
ReplyDeleteI know of Devon . . . not been there (yet) but LOVE England! England is a very beautiful country . . . can't wait to go back.
A dear friend of mine lives in the Midwest. I've been back a couple of times but the humidity is tough on me. I'm trying to entice her to come out for a visit with my photos . . .
It disturbs me to no end how thoughtless people can be about leaving their garbage behind. Typically there isn't a huge trash problem but after nice weekends it can be quite the ugly scene. I do what I can . . .
