I went out yesterday morning. I drove over the bridge to the barrier island that separates the town from the ocean. The island, a 25-mile-long strip of sand, is covered in big houses called "cottages" and with condo complexes now. There's also a supermarket. I had shopping to do.
I forgot to take my camera. The weather was beautiful, and the water in the sound (the bay or lagune or étang) was silvery smooth and the sky bright blue. You'll just have to believe me. Later in the day, so that I'd have something to put on the blog this morning, I went out and took a couple of photos in the salt marsh behind my mother's place. Maybe I'll do better tomorrow.
Jet lag is not nice.
ReplyDeleteWe feel we should be able to not let it beat us, but that's really hard to do.
What separates the cottages and condos from the ocean? I guess the owners know what they're doing... There is an end to jetlag, just in time to go back the other way.
ReplyDeleteNot much but a strip of beach sand separates all those big houses and apartment buildings from the raging sea (when it rages). Jet lag is less pronounced so far today.
DeleteLast night on "Beachfront Bargain Hunt" (another show where couples looking to buy a home are shown three properties, and buy one of them), the couple was searching in North Carolina's Outer Banks! I thought of you, of course! Here's a link to info on that episode

DeleteJust think how much fun Callie could have in that swampy mud! Good luck with your jet lag, Polly summed it up well.
ReplyDeleteI hate to think about Callie in all that muck. Ewwww. And a low tide it has a small only a dog could love.
DeleteNice watercolour effect on the first piccy...
ReplyDeletein camera or Pottyshop?
Or is it just jet-lagged??
Enjoy your break in the swamp...
croak, croak...
Photo was slightly blurry so I used Photoshop to exaggerate the effect. No frogs in the salt marsh as far as I know. Oysters, crabs, minnows, yes...
DeleteI was trying to say that aT low tide [the mud] has a smEll only a dog could love.
ReplyDeleteThe second photo looks more like "logging" than "lagging".
