Saturday morning - Ft. Pickens


The beach at Ft. Pickens still looked good this morning. What you are seeing in the photos are clumps of sea grass.


The water also looked clear and I detected no harsh odor


There were heavily oiled objects which had washed ashore, however.


I once thought plastic and Styrofoam was the worst of the trash I'd see on the beach. Now we have to deal with oiled plastic and Styrofoam. {{{sigh}}}

I'd like to thank the architect of this castle for the smile they brought to my face. Love the sea grass 'palm trees'.

One more thing made me smile this morning. A pod of dolphin were playing and feeding near Langdon Beach. I yelled out, "Swim east!!!"

This is our sandcastle!! We are from OKC,OK and it is our tradition to build a castle on Ft.Pickens at sunset at the end of our vacation. What a surprise to see it here when we got home on Saturday. We found your blog about a month ago and enjoy your beautiful pics and stories. Thank You!

Wow, Bailey, how's that for coming full circle. I found you on the beach and you found me on the Internet. As I said, your sandcastle put a smile on my face. I just loved the extra touch of the little trees.

I love your family's tradition. From now on give me a heads up when you're visiting and I'll be looking for your handiwork on my turtle patrol.
