I took a day trip out to the coast on “Black Friday” because competitive shopping isn’t my thing. This big red umbrella was the first object to catch my eye as I walked out onto the beach.
I grew up on the beach, and I can’t say I ever saw a mother duck take her ducklings out into the surf until now. After multiple attempts, and repeatedly getting washed back into shore, the duck family finally made it past the breakers and headed out toward open sea.
