Shade x 4

I was only able to stand a couple hours on the beach in yesterday's ridiculously hot temps, but was glad to see the plover chicks had managed to find some respite from the sun.

: )

Anyone know how much heat is radiated off of beach sand in full sun when air temps are 100+ degrees?

Great photograph. I'm glad the little ones found some shade. Don't even want to think about how hot it must be.

awww-love the little plovers.

Radiating heat off sand--I bet at least another 20 degrees F. So, 120?

Love this photo, Laura. Interesting question about the radiant heat from the sand. I remember walking those hot beaches and having to run and hop to keep from burning my feet.
