Shorter Days and Shadows

November 26: It’s after 2:00 this afternoon at Chocomount. Days are shorter, sunlight glistens on the sands quite differently now, the timing of sunset preoccupies my thought.

Tidal range appears more striking to me during the colder months, like the old rum runner “Thelma Pheobe” might just run aground again in ankle deep seas.

I move onward to the north side’s Hungry Point where 97 Harbor seals are counted on two rocky haul out sites today. From above the beach area I use my clicker along with binoculars attempting an accurate count. Don’t forget to include bobbing heads.
