It was a gorgeous morning for February when we decided to visit the beach before lunch. Partly sunny, 59 F, a light west wind and a good low tide.
The weird temperatures had generated an impressive, and ever shifting
Fata Morgana mirage out of the Eastern shire. Here it looks like large bridge, as the wooded shore line is reflected back up into the sky.
A closer view with the zoom lens shows it's much more complicated, with multiple reflections and refractions.
A big cargo ship is seen with it's upper side reflected in the mirage. Initially I thought it might be in two from the tug on the right, but in fact, the tug is much closer.
Given the weather, it's no surprise we had a good turnout at the beach, even a few kids wading in the surf, which is barely above freezing (in fact, there is still some ice in the harbor).
A lucky dog out for a long walk.
It was also a pretty good day for teeth, with 25 total including this
Mako Shark tooth that I found (top), and the
Snaggletooth that Georgia found (bottom). Both were in beautiful condition, and will sit on the kitchen window sill until displaced by better.
