I have another Oregon coast workshop beginning today, and the weather forecast (see below) makes me long for the foggy-but-at-least-it's-not-raining weather we had last week, when I photographed these little sandpiper-ish birds on the beach. The photograph is actually a merger of two shots -- one of the birds on the sand and the other of the birds in flight. Individually the photos were just too wimpy; together they tell more of a story. Not unlike the weather forecast for the upcoming week. Heavy sigh. ©Carol Leigh
