I got down to the beach for another stroll. This time, the beach warning flag was finally yellow, which is medium hazard. It was on red, or high hazard, on my other visits. It was still too cold to think about getting in the water. In fact, I have to say that I was definitely thinking about staying OUT of the water.
According to the gentleman in the picture, the fish weren’t biting. I’ll bet they were too cold to be interested.
The birds were looking about for their dinners, and I think they were not finding much to eat, either.
This one was looking mostly on shore.
This one was in the surf, but he didn’t seem to be finding much, either.
This guy was just standing there.
The tide seemed to approaching its lowest ebb. The water was swirling around the sand ridges just off shore. I also saw all the spots on the beach where the fisherman had been moving down the beach closer to the water as the tide went out.
The high tide lines were clearly visible up near the dunes.
One thing that I found curious was the fact that there are different colors of sand on the same beach. I wish I understood it. I guess I’ll just have to put it on the list of things to find out about at a later date.
Back at the camp site, I got to watch some nice sunsets.
The sun is going down.
And it’s time to go inside and warm up.
Nice pictures. I just love the beach. ..any beach.
I love beaches, too! I can’t wait to get back to one.
Hi Kim! I found your blog via AirForums, I think. (I’m FreshAirStrmr.) My husband and I just went full-time in our Airstream a month ago. We’re heading west and are at Big Lagoon SP for our last night in Florida for a few years at least. I really like your blog! I hope to start my own, but so far I’m just using Instagram. I really admire you doing this solo. Now I need to read your blog from the start!
Thanks, Joanne! I’m glad you are enjoying my blog. Congratulations on your full-time adventure! Where are you heading next? My blog is posting a about a month behind where I actually am. Right now, home is Pancho Villa State Park in Columbus, New Mexico, and I’m heading west. I hope that we meet up down the road! Enjoy the silver dream!
We’re heading to NM (my sister is in Albuquerque). Then southern Utah in May, then Jackson Center in late June! Argh! Didn’t plan on warranty trips to OH for the first two years when we bought new. Oh well.
I guess that’s one of the “advantages” of buying used – no warranty!
I will surmise that the different color sand granules have different densities, and that water action segregated the different weights to settle in different areas. Denser granules in low spots, less dense in the high spots.
Well, yes…but where do the different sands come from? I just gotta find out!
