Monday holiday

Tom and I kept cool yesterday by going to a great park south of the city, World's End.

I love it because it has so many kinds of habitats in a small peninsula -- salt marshes, woods, green meadows, and coast. All kinds of birds everywhere. Plus since you're surrounded by the harbor, you get a great breeze.

We walk the length of the peninsula and head toward the rocky beach at the end.






The beach is my favorite part, really.

Tom likes the shade.


But I like to wade.

This is me cooling off my legs in the water.


This is me after spotting a crab right next to my feet.


Pretty, isn't he?

See? Tell me you wouldn't move outta his way.

Given how warm it was, I really wanted to soak my back. Tom couldn't believe I would do such a thing, but come on -- doesn't this look fun?

Hahaha brrrr!! That water's chilly!

I tried to persuade Tom to try it, but he wasn't remotely tempted. He preferred dryer activities.


We both enjoyed ourselves in our own ways (though my backside was a lot cooler than his for the walk back!).
