Beach Therapy

Salisbury Beach is one of our favorite beaches. We walked along a good expanse of sand and rejuvenated by observing the gulls and watching and listening to the ceaseless waves. Beach therapy cures many ills. This was a midweek visit after the summer season so there weren't many other folks around.

It was high tide and the ocean's ebb and flow created quite a smooth crest of sand that the waves would occasionally spill over to where we were walking. In a few of the photos the sea gulls are on the other side of this crest from the camera, so the sand line in the images can appear quite strong near the bottom of the frame.

Here's a sandpiper having some lunch:
