In a manner of speaking, the beach is a stage, mystical and wondrous, nature’s remarkable theater. Performances range from the dramatic to the mundane. Among the more spectacular are autumn’s sunrises and sunsets, splashes of crimson across the sky. Less impressive, but surely as intriguing, are mullets in the sand flats, leaping repeatedly. Whether for the joy of flight or to escape a predator, who knows? But, nevertheless, all are fine actors. — Diary, autumn 2009
