Periwinkles at the beach

Sandy Beach again.  Today the winds ramped up a little from yesterday and the sea was even more confused and choppy, but still beautiful, whitecaps visible from far out, sets irregular.  The snails clustered together were routinely doused with water.  Blowing sand, occasional  rain, thumping waves meeting shoreline rocks, spray everywhere.  The energy was amazing and exhilarating.     It was hard to leave . . . .
