The sands of time...



My initial interest in taking the top photo of the lifeguard stand was the yellow-crowned night heron who may have been applying for the summer job as lifeguard. However, I'm using it as a demonstration of what the shifting sands of the beach can so quickly do to any stationary object (see photo two.) It didn't take but a couple of extra high tides to bury another lifeguard stand a foot or more. I'm awed and humbled by how the sea can change the landscape so effortlessly, and so quickly.

Then low and behold... an elf bench. Created by humans, made the proper height by the sand and sea. Perfect for an elf or leprechaun who just wants to sit and enjoy our beautiful and ever-changing shoreline.
