Scenes from Bethel Beach

This was taken a week ago Sunday from the little bridge you must cross to get to Bethel Beach.  I took these after my extraordinary visit to Beachland, my new favorite place in Mathews.  The shot above was looking left out the car window just at the top of the little bridge.

Doesn't it look like the creek is bending to the right to accommodate that cloud above? Does anyone else see a heron's head in that cloud (bill is pointed upwards to the left corner of the photo)? Does anyone else over-analyze photographs of Almost Nothing want to return to the blog post, which already has veered off track?

Below is just a vast expanse of nothingness swamp fiddler crab habitat marsh.

The sky was a canvas of blue with brush strokes of white here and there.

It was very Zen-like, even if I am not exactly sure I could articulate what Zen-like means.

I can show you, though.

Zen-like

This last shot was taken while glancing to the right from the top of the little bridge.

That's the bay off in the distance.

Today is Wednesday. You probably already knew that, but I have to repeat what day it is over and over again to remind myself and keep track of who needs to be where and at what time.

Back in the good old days, businesses in Mathews Court House would shut down half a day on Wednesdays.  If they didn't shut down at noon, I'm pretty sure it was by two o'clock, although my memory is fuzzy. The bottom line is they closed early, and everyone knew it and accepted it as fact. Whatever you may have thought you needed at 3:00 Wednesday would just have to wait until Thursday morning. Period. The End.

I vote to reinstate this notion of shutting down early mid-week.  Heck, we've already survived Monday and Tuesday, and we would be so much more productive if we had an afternoon to lollygag renew our energy to face Thursday and Friday.

Everybody should be able to take an authorized nap on Wednesday afternoons.

Who's on board?
