Walk to Range Point

When I reached Range Point this morning, I found an umbrella set up by a young family with two little girls. Though sea grass has washed up along the shore here, there are clear, sandy areas where children can wade and the water is generally calm.

The little girls squealed at tiny fish swimming past their ankles and were mesmerized by hermit crabs which were making their way along the tide line.


I turn back for home, which takes me past Portofino. The tide is coming in and by early afternoon this small width of sound-side beach will almost completely disappear 'til the tide recedes.
