There was a break in the rain. I saw a bunch of herons not far on the beach that looked like an interesting shot and before I knew it, I was half an hour down the beach. With a half hour return. A couple of minutes after I turned around, and just after I thought that it was nice that I had been able to get a walk in and how it might actually clear, a few rain drops hit me. It was just me and my camera. No camera bag with camera raincoat. But real rain held off until after I, and more importantly, my camera, were safely inside.
It would have been nice to have had more light, but the diffuse light plus flat areas in the water led to a couple of shots that I like.
