Last year there was an irruption of snowy owls in this area. Some of them have stuck around, or at least returned, but not near as many as a year ago January. I decided to try and find one on Plymouth Long Beach which is where they've been spotted. Got up there by about 9 and started my walk.
I was fairly bundled up but I'd neglected to grab a hat and scarf, which I regretted immediately. It was very windy and cold.
If I'd had a 4 wheel drive, I could have driven out to the farthest point, 3 miles away, but I didn't so I was on foot. The stuff I read online said to stay on the road, rather than the beach.
That's looking far across the harbour at the very end of Duxbury Beach.

I walked at least a half mile or maybe even a mile, with no luck. A guy drove down from the end of the beach and said there weren't any down there at all today. So I turned around and headed back, eventually climbing over the breakwater to the beach to look for glass.
Unusual olive'ish coloured piece.
I wanted to snag this brick but I forgot my baggie and my pockets were full of a zoom lens, phone & car keys.
Tide was coming in.
I saw this in the parking lot but I have since found out that it's a clothing brand, not a socio-political-economic statement.
Wellllll, my first comment disappeared so I'll share again.. Your photos are always so beautiful I think you should submit them to the companies who handle tourism, seriously, you should! - Good morning, again, and hopefully I'm still your first comment! :D
ReplyDeleteThanks Mimi! I wish I had the confidence to try that but there are so many photographers around here that it's impossible to try and get my foot in the door.
DeleteWOW, if I had such a beautiful place to go for a walk...I would walk more! I envy you!
ReplyDeleteYes we are very lucky to be surrounded by beaches! And the thrill of the glass hunt (and shells & rocks) means you are out there for a long time too.
DeleteIt really is a lovely area. Maybe you could publish your pix as a book. You certainly have some gorgeous ones of the area.
ReplyDeleteI wonder how much it'd cost to self publish?
DeleteYou were at my beach growing up! Looks like a fun but cold walk!
ReplyDeleteIt was fffffffreeeeeezing that day. But then again it IS January in Massachusetts!
DeleteI am a FOOL for nautical/beach pics! love it, JOJO!!!
