Reid State Park in March

Late last week Ken suggested we take a trip to the ocean. We couldn't remember the last time we visited Reid State Park. While Popham has miles of beach to walk, Reid has a shorter beach with enormous outcroppings of rock at each end. It was the perfect destination, less than an hour from home, for a sunny Saturday in mid-March. We arrived before noon and started walking, into the wind, toward a stand of trees about a mile down the beach ~

Once there, I looked back to see Ken checking out driftwood ~

Beyond the rocks, the ocean continued forever ~

I sat on a large piece of driftwood to enjoy the view ~

The waves crashed on the rocks below ~

We walked back down the beach and found that the rocks at the other end had places so well shaded that there were still patches of snow ~

Fresh air, sunshine, the sea, and a walk on the beach with my husband.... What more could I ask for on a late-winter day?
