A Peek At The Ocean

A main drive leading straight to the beach is nearby and today we decided it was time to use it and take a look at the ocean. It wasn't really a "beach day" but there's something satisfying in contemplating the ocean in just about any weather.

Carol did most of the contemplating. I took photos. The guy in
the background looks like a pole-vaulter but I doubt it.

At the other end we watched a beach enlargement, or ocean
reduction, project.

On the horizon, ships lay at anchor probably waiting for their
turn at a pier to offload merchandise for Walmart.
And if that guy actually is a pole vaulter he sure
loves a challenge.

 "Let's take a selfie," Carol said to the photographer.

On the sidewalk that led us to and from the beach we met a rare specimen known as the bald-tail squirrel. You hardly ever see them in parks never mind strolling on a public sidewalk.

Unlike regular squirrels, this guy was not inclined to
scurry out of our way. Maybe I wouldn't either if I
was dragging a caboose twice as long as my body.

My attempt to make him look cute.

I heard Noah's wife initially wanted a separate mini ark for these guys. Not sure if that's true.

Still, it was pleasant to visit the ocean.
