It was warm and sunny in Nashua when we left. The weather had told us the coast would be colder, but we didn’t take it seriously. An hour east, the fog was sitting on the beach like it had been there all week. We were in spring clothes. My wife’s birthday, and the Atlantic had no interest in cooperating.
The fog compressed everything to about fifty yards. Beyond that, nothing. — Leica M10-R, Summilux-M 50mm f/1.4 Pre-ASPH.
We stayed anyway. There wasn’t much else to do — we’d driven an hour and the beach was empty in a way that felt worth something even if we couldn’t feel our hands. The surf was rolling in slow and the few people out were moving fast, heads down.

On the way to dinner we passed a pond. Three swans on flat water, mist just above the surface. We stopped without discussing it.

Petey’s was warm. We ate too much. When we walked out, the fog was gone and the sky had opened into something else entirely — clouds moving hard offshore, light cutting across the sand. A different day than the one we’d arrived to.
