The tide line is absolutely littered with carcasses of sand crabs at this time of the year. Some seem to have had a more difficult time than others.

Gentleness
With no four-needle pines in this growing zone, this is likely from one of our abundant eastern pines, with one needle lost.
Regardless of variety, the gentle splay of the needles, the monochromatic palette, and the soft early light combine to create a lovely photograph.
I just sighed when I spotted this.
The Ocean’s Lines
I look and look at this photo, wondering why this particular piece of seaweed, which was very malleable, did not follow the sweep of the tide lines.

Scattered: The End of the Season

Feather and Fragments
The tide line is full to overflowing with splashes of color and jumbles of shells and pebbles, yet it is interesting to me how often I come across balanced, monochromatic still lifes, such as this one.
Also of growing interest is the effect the early morning light has on the opacity of the items that I photograph. Here, the light is hitting the bit of down feather just perfectly to give the illusion of transparency. Now that fall is coming, the sun is lower and rising later, so I may have a chance to work with this a bit more.
