There’s a story in the silence of the sand. A single collar, left upon driftwood, hints at the life that runs beyond the frame — a dog chasing gulls, rolling in the dunes, alive in every sense of the word. Here on Putney Beach, peace doesn’t come from stillness, but from motion — from the freedom to exist as nature intended. The collar, once a symbol of ownership, now rests as part of the island’s landscape, blending with sea-worn wood and sunlit sand. It’s a gentle reminder that sometimes, to belong to the world, you first have to let go.
