I took a three day trip back east to see family over the President's day week-end. My brother came down from Boston and we stayed with my dad and mom in Ocean Pines and also visited my sister who only lives a block from Dad. In the midst of the family reunion and killing of the fatted crab we managed to get to the beach for a few hours on Sunday afternoon where I squeezed in a few shots on the boardwalk. It was overcast and about 35 degrees but the beach is the beach. We got some Thrasher's french fries "in case we got famished before supper." The seagull shot was costly as I took direct hits to my hat and the sleeve of my jacket.
