Late afternoon at the lonely beach!

Some stunning photos here so come and join us for a stroll!

One of our favorite times to take a casual walk and to watch the birds packing it up for the day. The ocean was preparing for the night time high tide event and the animals know that the entire beach will be covered by water.
Tomorrow is another day is what they say lol.

A late sunbeam streaked across the ebbing water surfaces!

Mister Kingfisher above drying off in the late sun!
I was surprised as he allowed me to creep up on him, slowly, slowly!

Just a beautiful pattern here of the sand shaped by the water streams!

This Cormorant was also drying to prepare for home time!

Some ponds reflecting the time of day!

Finished with the daily search for food he came stolling out of the waves.

And here another one goes, done for the day and as he took off I kept an eye on him!

Surprise, surprise, on the way he was joined by his partner and here they cross with the moon in the background!

And That's All for today folks!

A late stroll on a deserted beach with the breaking sound of the waves in one's ear delivers upmost peace of mind.
Especially where Father time is concerned, as one gets the feeling that everything is as it should be.
Yes, we complicate life and so many of us run around thinking that the world turns around us and that we are the most important beings in the universe.

But, no, we are only tiny frail specks at the mercy of the air that we breathe. Life has existed long before us and by the way that we carry on maltreating nature, some forms of life will continue after us. My bet is that nature will lick it's wounds and reclaim all of her territories.
As it was at the beginning, just so it will be at the end.
Think about it!
