Quite a full day in photographic realms. Soon after sunrise we were at Drift Inn beach, a couple of miles from home, and the tide was going out, exposing rocks and seaweed and such-like. I did the usual thing of taking a lot<\/i> of pictures, moving from one inspiration to another, and then spent several hours processing them.
