Fifty-Two Views of the Gulf

July 12, 2015 · by John W. Howell · in Fifty-two Views of the Gulf · 22 Comments

Here is this week’s photo.

There are far fewer cars on the beach because this is not a holiday weekend. In fact the only folks on the beach were two dogs and their owners. You can see the dogs in the center of the photo. The yellow morning glories are out in full force. The footprints tell a tale of a number of visitors coupled with low tides and moderate wind..

Last week’s photo.

Does it get business during non-holiday summer days?

Big difference! I remember going to to beach there way back before so much development and loved the solitude. At least it is quiet most of the time for you. Love the yellow morning glories!

Ah, this view is superb, John — MUCH better than having to share the waterfront with all those campers and such!

The view is much improved by the lack of cars and trucks. Wishing you a beautiful new week.
