Y is under the yardarm

Early morning on the beach and all the sailing vessels (neither yachts nor yawls) are lined up waiting for another day on the water to begin and for that special time when "the sun is over the yardarm."  For one of the earliest possible times that could be, see Michael Quinion's  World Wide Words!

Early morning is the best time for walking the beach for many reasons: no one else around, not too hot, no need to put Willow on a lead!

And of course more Y's can be found on ABC Wednesday.

  10. Couldn't agree more - mornings are best for walking along the shore. I can feel the cool sand between my toes now!

  13. I love the shores of the Great Lakes, especially both sides of Lake Michigan. On a wild day, it reminds me of the ocean sans dead fish smell.

  16. Oh a wonderful picture. I didn't know morning was the best time to take such photographs - we learn so much on Wednesdays don't we.

    Thanks for contributing.
