I'm not much for beaches in the daytime, despite growing up on Long Island. I hate the heat and I detest the crowds.
But the beach at twilight? That's another story. Mike and I went last night to one of our 'state park' beaches and took a nice stroll along the water's edge. That's the Long Island Sound behind us. As you can see, I'm carrying a net bag full of shells. They are now spread out on a tray in the middle of my dining room table.
I found one piece of amber beach glass. The most unusual shell I found was a black scallop shell. I've never seen a black one and it was the only one I came across last night.
Of course, I also picked up rocks of unusual and attractive shapes. They don't look as pretty away from the beach, so I'll probably put them in mason jar of water to give them their 'shine.'
Mike took the picture on top by holding the camera up over our heads and aiming down. I saw on a TV show that this is a good way to take a picture. It took me 3 efforts of my own to realize it makes more sense to have the taller person hold the camera--I kept cutting off Mike's head.
BTW, doesn't he look amazing for a guy who will be 56 next month? (And he can still bench press 350 pounds!)

Sounds like a wonderful evening. Also wanted to tell you that the clothes pin apron is so cute.
That is my favorite time of day at the beach too. I don't go in the heat and I definitely don't like the crowds either! I'm not 20 anymore and have no desire to fry off my skin. :) I bet you had a nice time.
