After a long, cold winter it was great to have a sunny day today with temperatures in the fifties. We went for a beach walk at Sea Isle City where the waves were pretty large, delightful to see and hear.
A Conch was washed up on the beach, not just the shell but the live animal, though since it wasn’t moving it might have been dead. Hard to tell with these creatures. From the footprints you can see some gulls have been looking it over.
Here’s one, I think a Herring Gull, with a wonderfully abstract reflection in the wet sand.
There were lots of Sanderlings at the surf line doing their feeding run back and forth with the waves. A fine walk, and not many people around. They were all in the restaurant where we had dinner after!
