March Beach Walk

A walk along the beach never requires good reason or a destination but today's just happened to be...seals.  It's the right time of year to see them here on Long Island and this morning's tide was perfect.  But the seals must have been off swimming, fishing or lounging on rocks off some other beach because they were not here.  Its about a 2 mile walk to get to them but with so much  beauty along the way, disappointment was as absent as the seals today.

Favorite driftwood of the day, love the rock embedded in the wood.
