Sunday – Fifty-Two Views of the Gulf

Today’s photo shows somewhat of an improvement over the past couple of days. The sun is out and looks like a glorious morning. The beach is relatively deserted and the temp is around 68 degrees. We are expecting some thunderstorms on Tuesday which we can always use. Last week’s photo

Sunday – Fifty Two Views of the Gulf

The weather has again turned rainy for the weekend. It would almost appear as if it rains here all the time.The fact is we hardly ever get rain so this is certainly welcome. You can see the clear sky far away on the horizon.  I am adding an additional photo of the last brave purple […]

Sunday – Fifty-Two Views of the Gulf

As you can see the day is overcast with the surf action pretty much the way it has been for the last week. We did have a lovely week, and the rain seems to like visiting on the weekends The rain is moving away and won’t be back until mid-week. The wind continues to push […]

Sunday – Fifty-Two Views of the Gulf

  I described the Gulf on Friday as resembling a pot of boiling Navy Beans. It is not quite as rough today, but still quite active. You will notice that the wind and tide action is bringing the water right up to the walkway at night. You can see how high the water is by […]

A bit cooler this weekend. We are getting ready for some rain next week. The white caps are a sign of the increasing presence of a low front that is moving in from the West. Should be here by Tuesday and then if stationary we could get some much-needed rain. (They are saying inches) A lone […]

The view is good. The wind is low velocity and the wave action normal. We had two days of rain and managed to get about an inch and one-half. The only one out there is a jogger. Last week’s photo.

I managed to get the spot in spite of the low-riding sun. Today’s shot shows there is a little wind and the temperature was in the low 70’s due to a front moving in overnight. We are supposed to have two days where the daytime highs are no  more than the low 80s. Then it’s […]

Sunday – Fifty-Two Views of the Gulf

Here is a rather fuzzy view this week.  The sun played with the camera. Since the days are shorter the sun is laying lower in the East and I did not accommodate that eventuality. As you can see there is a lovely RV on the beach and you can’t hear the generator but let me […]

Sunday – Fifty-Two Views of the Gulf

Not much has changed this week. That brown stuff by the water is seaweed that rolled in with the shifting current. We have also been having a rough time with Red Tide. This is an algae bloom in the Gulf that is totally toxic to wildlife. The waves roll across the tide and the wind vaporizes […]

Sunday – Fifty-Two Views of the Gulf

As you can see we have been getting some rain. I was listening to the weatherman last night and he declared this was the 24th wettest year in 128 years. I’m not too sure how relevant that sound bite is, but I believe we have gotten a lot of rain this year. Those are sun […]
