On the first of two weekends in July we work on our sailboat at a marina on Monty Bay. In the early morning I head north for my usual walk along the lake. Through the shade of the wonderfully treed trailer park I walk to come back out onto the beach where, watching the last of the morning mist drift away, I find the weed wacker and tie wrap plastics and small shale stones worn into oval shapes. The heron stands on the beach, the crows caw shrilly as I near them.
