On Sunday, November 3, we finally found a day that we could escape to the beach. The forecast was for a coldish day but once we got there the sun made the extra coats unnecessary! Lots of people were dog walking, beach combing and some horseback riding on the beach. I took a short video of them galloping by and the sound of their hooves was lovely. As I finally have a smart phone I posted it to Instagram.

If you have ever been to Long beach in Plymouth, Ma you know that there is a section of rocks that you have to walk over or around depending on how high the tide is. Here you can see me enjoying a bit of a climb over the boulders.

On our way out to the beautiful sandy stretches of the beach, I ran into a woman who had found a sand dollar among other great seashell treasures. She also had a huge bone, a vertebra from some unknown animal. Soon after I found a fish carcass up near the road. Here are a couple of photos I took. Not sure what it was? Perhaps a sun fish? I've been watching a lot of reports of them stranding in cape cod bay and of their attempted rescues to deeper water.

We found a lot of great seashells while we there and took this short video of our beach treasures. Hope to get back there again as it is always such a pleasant time beach combing and enjoying the beauty of Long beach!
