Earlier this summer I went up to Rhode Island for a weekend.

My friend Patti drove us up to Charlestown, Rhode Island. She was coming from Pennsylvania, and we met for lunch in Beacon, NY at a restaurant called Homespun Foods. We ate a few sandwiches and picked up some food for later.

There had been a couple of large storms a few days earlier, and the normally calm shores had waves of well over six feet.

The shorebirds and gulls didn’t seem to mind. Whenever a large swell hit the tidal pools they dashed away.

The snails also seemed very happy.

Charlestown has a large briny bay with fish and cormorants.
