This boat has been stranded on the beach since the winter, but lately it has gradually moved down towards my beach. The power of the tides is really amazing! Last night I noticed that dozens of little fish were inside the boat, having found themselves caught without a ride back to the water. I hope they were able to get back to the bay once the tide came in. I scolded them with my old lecture, "Well, what did you expect would happen once the tide went out?" but they ignored me. The sun is setting much earlier now and most days I don't make it home in time to see it. Last night the sun was gone, but a bright orange band of color still hugged the horizon. The water takes on a silver-gray-metallic blue hue at this time that is so beautiful and impossible to replicate with any paint color or crayon. Who makes a silver-gray-metallic blue? Not Benjamin Moore. Only Mother Nature.
