Gently unfolding

A glorious warm sunny day.  It started with a stroll along the beach to catch glimpses of the eclipse.  Just as well it was misty as I didn't have any special glasses, when we had glimpses they were not too bright.   Bought some very fresh fish on the beach, it was still breathing, ugh, a twilight special the sign said.  The fisherman was surprised when I said that the sun was at maximum eclipse as it was still fairly light but just dull.  

After that a visit to a local salt marsh and estuary bird spotting site where this bulrush was gently loosing its seeds.  Looks great nesting material.
