Walks along the beach

Because Howard so often has evening meetings I try and get him out of the office reasonably early - before it gets dark - and we take a walk from the house along the beach to the Boat Club. Have a drink to cool down and then walk home again through the Camp. We have been busy unpacking the house and haven't walked for a couple of weeks but I have managed to find and unpack the cable that allows me to download photos from my phone to the computer...and this is the result:












And this was quite a special find - a horseshoe crab, about 20 inches or so long. It was washed up at our feet with a wave, and I managed to get this photo. Before I could get another one with Howard in the frame to give an idea of scale, the next wave came up and it was gone. If I didn't have the photo I almost wouldn't believe that we saw it.
