A Distraction
I definitely need distractions these days. My favorite is to take a walk on the beach.
This is one of our beaches at a minus tide.
Plenty of room for enjoying. However, the footing can be treacherous below the snow line.
High tide can be interesting also; although not all the beaches are appropriate for beach combing during a winter storm.
I’ve shown you this photo before but haven’t shown the view from the beach at low tide.
Here’s a few improvements they have made since that winter.
Repurposed post and mooring anchors.
I don’t know where they got the salvaged concrete but this was once a seriously overbuilt concrete beam. Whatever, it has to be renewed every few winters.
A few more winter beach scenes.

The driftwood can get a bit difficult to harvest.
Here’s hoping that you get to walk a beach near you soon.
Stay safe.
So far I've reached acceptable proficiency at the following, in chronological order: Silversmith, infantryman/door gunner, helicopter pilot, fireman, carpenter, residential contractor, FAA Air Traffic Control Specialist and crotchety old retired guy. Currently, I'm learning to fly again and that is what this is all about. 7/7/2020 edit: As I have had the opportunity to reflect (old people do that a lot) on my actual proficiency level at the above occupations, I feel adjustments are in order. The term "acceptable" depends on the observer, their own proficiency and experience level. Acceptable to me might be woefully deficient to the master. I think it would be more accurate to claim that I have earned a living wage at all of these occupations but never got rich. Actually, I feel that I have gotten rich at the last one. I have what I need and am profoundly grateful for all of it. The future looks bright indeed, as I have learned to fly again. For that I have all of you to thank. Thank You!
Great photographs, Troy!
