June 19, 2015: Paul sure knows how to throw a party . . .
Read MoreI took some time to wander around the beach before the festivities began. I don't get to walk on the beach very often and take full advantage of the opportunity when it presents itself. I don't even have a desire to get in the water. The calm atmosphere and sound of the waves hitting the shore are good enough for me.
If you look closely at the photo above, it looks like this bird is skimming the water with his beak. I remember watching this and thinking to myself, "I wonder what happens if he gets his beak too close to the sand." Turns out nothing really happens. His head dips suddenly but immediately returns to the position shown above.
