The first thing I noticed was all the whitecaps
andybreeding:
This was the north-bound view
andybreeding:
view west up onto the dunes
andybreeding:
These trees looked like something you'd find on the road to Mordor
andybreeding:
View back North
andybreeding:
The bright sunshine lit up the water
andybreeding:
Approaching the ledges
andybreeding:
these overhangs were crumbling before our eyes
andybreeding:
K checking out the ledges
andybreeding:
This was a particularly robust stand of grass
andybreeding:
with some individuals dangling high over the sand
andybreeding:
At the southern tip of the beach, our turnaround point
andybreeding:
The crook of the bayside end of the beach where a mighty wind was blowing
andybreeding:
The mighty grass clump, viewed from the south
andybreeding:
And again from a higher vantage point
andybreeding:
K and I scrambled up some unstable ground for a better view
andybreeding:
View across the dunes to the bay side
andybreeding:
View south from the boardwalk entrance
andybreeding:
View of the great house at Crane Estate
andybreeding:
And a zoom view of same
andybreeding:
K leaning back into some serious wind
andybreeding:
and getting buffeted about
andybreeding:
Sand blowing the beach over our tracks
andybreeding:
Sand and wave and wind
andybreeding:
Sand blowing towards us (view north)
andybreeding:
Approaching Little Neck and the inlet of the Ipswitch River
andybreeding:
Sand blowing away from us (view south)
andybreeding:
tidal pools in the rocky area were vibrating in the wind
andybreeding:
view north from the more southerly boardwalk entrance
andybreeding:
Melting snow made the parking lot a lake
