Beach Blooms

Ah, it's another day at the beach. Record high temperatures for October. Yes, you heard me - October. The temperature is still in the 90s, and the Gulf is still 85. Let's not talk about the heat index (same idea as wind chill for you Yankees) which hovers somewhere in the low 100s.

Some of us are searching for whatever blossoms beneath the waves.

Some of us haven't gotten our feet wet yet,


but when we do, look what treasures we find ........... sand flowers, don'tcha think. Recognize the nutmeg?


Something is always blooming at the beach.


These beauties remind me of morning glories although they glory all day long.


Even the trees are heavy with peliblooms.


Of course, there are few days that one does not observe the blooming parasols.

Can't wait to see what tomorrow brings.
