Plumb Island Hike 11/11/10
|
|
I had Veteran's Day off so spent the morning clearing some of the clutter work that I had. Sue picked me up at 2:00pm and we drove down to the Parker River National Wildlife Refuge on Plum Island, MA.

The surf was up and the waves were frothing ashore unbelievable. We had a nice walk along the beach with Sue busy doing her thing taking picutres.
After I stepped into a puddle up to my mid chins and sloshing around for awhile, we came back to my place for a quick bite to eat, and then watched the movie Wall Street.
|

Heavy surf pounded the shore; I could feel it's power in my legs as I walked across the marsh.
|

A view across the marsh.
|

On the other side of the far sand dune, you can just see the cresting waves rolling into the bay, throwing up a fine sea mist into the crisp air.
|

Only Sue could get a shot like this.
|

Late afternoon sun starting to set below the dunes. You can see how strong the wind is, though just starting to abate as the sun drops.
|

Duens throwing their shadow across the sand in the late afternoon setting sun.
|

Another shot of the setting sun through the eelgrass.
|

I hit the breaks as Sue jammed me to stop the car to get this perfect shot through the trees in the road we had just come down.
|

Is this a perfect shot or what....
|

The day slips away behind the horizon.
|

And Sue patiently waited for this shot. Just perfect.
|

And the last shot across the dunes to the crescent moon.
|

This is a shot of the surf on a 'typical day' that Sue sent to me so that I could see how really different and powerful the sea was on the day I was with her.
