Soon to set behind clouds, some of the last sunshine in the conterminous United States beamed crepuscular rays across the sky, a beautiful backdrop to the sea-stack festooned coastline. For periods a few seconds at a time, a certain stage of wave retreat left a shallow shimmer on the sand, one I’ll call mercurial in two contexts: changeability and visual reflectivity. The experience offered a simple, refreshing and full-sensory delight!
