Are these the low-tide lowlands, Mary? Will water start flowing in any minute now? In the meantime, the "gathering" can take advantage of what the moist sand offers, I'm sure. I'd gather there, too, if I were a bird!
Mary MacADNski: This is the bay I live on and it is tidal with two low and two high tides a day. Usually June has the lowest tide of the year and the day before this photo, that was the case. I was there at dead low so slowly the bay will fill up again and in 6 hours it is again, high tide.
A place enjoyed by gulls and camera-toting Island Walkers.
It is a little like Louis's pic today, although the palette is entirely different.
Mary MacADNski: I agree about Louis' photo. The thumbnail is even more similar. Would you believe I am reading a book right now called 'Island Walkers?' Turns out the character's last name is Walker. Duh!
A wonderful sense of calm and tranquility. I can almost hear the distant surf and gulls in the air.
Lovely
Mary MacADNski: It certainly was calm and tranquil. I'm about the only person who ever ventures here.

I would be digging for clams if i were there.
Mary MacADNski: There are a few razor clam here but you'd have to go somewhere else for softshell or bar clams. Clammers were out in force those low tide days.
It's always interesting t osee how the water soon reclaims these areas when the tide comes in. In the meantime, it seems to provide rich pickings for the gulls.
Mary MacADNski: I love watching it come in. It's so subtle yet before you know it water covers everything again.
