Slipping away in my canoe is one of the ways I enjoy a quiet escape from the hustle of daily life. I caught these sandpipers hanging out while glidding past an old oyster bed near Cherry Point boat landing. Soon after I pulled over and followed suit…basking in the late afternoon sun, enjoying the slap-slap of gentle waves, and listening to the cries of gulls that flew by.
