Castles in the sand...

The Red Tide is a concern for those here, especially if you already have respiratory problems. Here's what time on the beach is like right now...


Who was that masked man? Yeah, they are necessary. Hopefully, the wind will change directions and blow from the southeast... that may move the red tide further out in the Gulf. In the meantime, we have been moving back into the house, but took time today to admire the sand sculptures that were built during SandCastle Days...


Just a few of the many. Real talent to make these... and knowing that Mother Nature will soon reclaim the sand.

Back at the HitchHiker, this is one of the few sites that has a double pad...

We specifically asked for this site; there are sand burrs in the grass here and the cement pad keeps that to a minimum as far as tracking them in. If the red tide improves, we'll look forward to taking Izzy for a walk... on the pavement. Oh, and in the photo above, you can see Big Red's "good side."
