Sunday – Fifty-Two Views of the Gulf

Sunday has come so fast and time for another look at the Gulf. I noticed after the picture was taken that I stood back a little too far and so a lot more of the dune crossover is visible. As you can see the day is overcast and the sea is quite rough. We have had about three days of over 24 mile an hour winds which serve to whip the surf into quite a frenzy. The dark spots on the sand near the water is seaweed that has been carried in at high tide. If you look closely you can also see two lonely yellow Morning Glories to the right. If you look at the photo below you will see they weren’t here last week. The dunes generally are covered with them all summer.

The photo below is last week’s for reference

Finally, the Fifty-Two Shades of Gray is not going to be a reality. We have had a glorious week and the picture shows you what I mean.

The truck belongs to a lone fisherman. The puffy little clouds gave way to deep blue in the afternoon. Since I take this picture in the morning for consistency the clouds remain and you can see the effect of the sun with shadows on the path. The sea is very calm, unlike last week. The picture below taken last week is quite a contrast to this week.

Here is the number three view of the gulf. As you can see if you look at number two below very little has changed. We still have cloudy skies and rain. The lack of Footprints is a clue the rain washed them away. Saturday morning was a frog strangler with lightning and thunder to rattle grandma’s teeth. One loud clap of thunder and a lightning bolt brought all four animals into the bed. Each wanted to be closer to me than the next. Hopefully next week we will have beautiful blue and sunshine.
