Each morning I try to start the day off with a little walk on the beach. Sundays and Mondays are usually the best. The beach is usually deserted. Just me, the sea gulls, the wind and the surf.
Although it was warm, the temperature is affected by the wind. This guy looked pretty cold or maybe just tired. I think they sleep and rest in this position. The gulls will follow you on your walk. I think they dream that you are going to feed them. They ask you not to here, so I don't. I do enjoy their company though.
This island is made up of "hash" which is broken down bits of shell and rock. You can really see some of the small bits of shell in this picture. I loved this worn and full of texture shell. Sometimes they are more beautiful than the "perfect" ones. Sort of like people. The more they have seen, done and been through the more interesting they are.
This is the channel that leads from the ocean to the inner coastal waterway. When the waves and wind are brisk it stuns the fish and the birds go on a feeding frenzy. Today it is this migrating group of brown pelicans. There were hundreds of them. I love to collect their feathers. They make beautiful bouquets and quivers to write with.
After my walk I had a ton of errands to run. As I finished my last one and headed for home I turned to see this full rainbow. I immediately pulled into the first parking lot and started snapping pictures. it has been quite a while since I have seen such a beautiful sight. I liked the irony of this one. The name of the shop below the rainbow is Thrill of the Hunt. That about says it all.
