Beach Combing

I walked another section of shoreline along the Patuxent River today.  While I saw the Red Tail Hawk and the Turkey Vultures soaring above, there wasn't a good photo in the bunch I snapped.  I'll need to keep trying for those aerials. Though I didn't get the shot I was hoping for, I'm never at a loss to find something interesting on the shoreline.  So, let's take a short walk:

Here's the stepping off point from the Pacifica.  While the tripod is out, I took a couple shots of the distant Gov. Thomas Johnson Bridge, but didn't they didn't really strike me.

 I found a baseball, lacking it's cover.



Then there was a basket.  This type usually holds some crabs.  As expected this one was empty, though it looks like it was hoping for some crabs to jump in right from the water.

This shows that anything can have barnacles eventually. 

The bottle of water above was sunk into the sand.  The ironic part is that this company My Cause donates 5 cents for every bottle sold, and the customer gets to pick the charity.  It's a nice way to do something good, but I guess recycling is not part of the program.


The last shots include a hunter's blind right at the waterfront, some grass and a pine tree that stood out.

That's the walk for today. Not a very long walk, but I took quite a while to enjoy it all.  The cool air, the sound of the wind and waves all made for a great little trip. 

I hope you have had time for your own short walk, or adventure.  What did you see today?

Here's to looking up, looking out, and looking in.

Blessings,
