The beach was calling our names tonight. Hannah and I rushed through dinner and headed over to Roque Bluffs. The sand and waves have a way of smoothing rough edges.
We paused along the way to watch this heron who took exception to our presence.
A flock of Common Ringed Plovers darted about the beach camouflaged in the rocks.
The first Plover sighting of the season mesmerized us.
The beach to ourselves, I parked myself in the sand and watched.
I kept my distance and watched with my zoom lens.
They scurried along the beach as the tide worked its way in.
Dancing in the waves.
We lingered as the sun dropped low, casting the world in pink.
Snuggled in sweatshirts to ward off the mosquitos,
we sat toes in the sand, letting the waves soothe us.
We returned to the car only when we could no longer see the Plovers – and couldn’t take the mosquitoes anymore.
It was a most magical evening.
Beautiful photos! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for the beautiful pictures.
Oh that video! I’d fall asleep if I stayed there for any length of time! Love the sound. We have a camp right on the edge of Winnipesaukee and a lot of the family enjoys sleeping on the futon in the front room – so they can hear the lake. The spiders out there are too much for me so I prefer the bedroom in the back, haha. The sky here was gorgeous last night too! My husband called me to come look at it. Very red…I wonder if the fires have anything to do with it? Smoke in the air that we can’t detect during the day… Anyway really enjoyed your pictures, as always. Jan in MA
Beautiful. Loved the video.
I’d sleep on the porch if it weren’t for the spiders and bears!
You’re welcome!
Glad you liked them!
I know, right? I want to record a good hours worth to enjoy this winter.
