EVENING BEACH

 Smith's Cove Beach, a favourite haunt when the weather gets fine. We can look up the Annapolis Basin from the benches perched just beyond the high tide mark. I always enjoy the initial surprise of the beach, located at the end of  a narrow dirt path.  



















I enjoy walking along the beach, even with our two rather naughty dogs. To personify them, the dogs seem to take great delight in running wild on the beach - no leash to hold them back. The hare up and down from the water's edge to the high tide mark. I try to simultaneously watch where they are and ignore them. Phiri, with her motley beige coat,  seems to blend into the landscape. Toti, with his black coat, seems to disappear in the landscape. They have occasionally startled me when, after I have been shouting and shouting for them,  they run up behind me.   It is especially difficult to keep track of where they are when my head is down looking for treasures on the beach....
....like this wooden spoon.
                                                                            

 We had a gentle sunset this evening, and it was a joy to experience it on our community  beach.
