A Delightful Day at the Beach
As usual, the buses are late.
Bump! Bump! Bump! Don't get carsick.
Brilliant sunshine floods and envelops us.
First stop: the beach
Sand whips our ankles.
Mussels, clams, and snails abound.
Second stop: Twin Lights
What a huge Fresnel lens!
Enjoy the panoramic view from above.
Third stop: Horseshoe Cove
Seining is rush, rush, rush!
But our net's bountiful booty compensates.
Rain pelts our roof and windows.
Batten the hatches!
Thursday's field trip is a shell success!
