Good-bye Beach...ocean...

As I always leave the coast, I say good-bye to the sand,

the surf, the sun, the fun, and the ocean out loud.

I don't know why...I just do it.

So, sadly I said it Friday morning as we drove out.

The end of the peninsula is the last glimpse of the ocean

before you head inland.

At the end of the peninsula, they are widening

and reinforcing the road. I took a couple of photos

of the bus going through the one lane road.

No thought to it, just hold up camera one handed and shoot.

Plus, it's always cool to go back with a before and after.

Here is the entire photo of the new sea wall.

Again, just holding up the camera...

as I was going through the photos, I noticed something.

Next to the digger tractor thingy...

Here is the close up of it!
The ocean waved good-bye back!
That's the way I see it...
(Too cute gift from Hal and Emily that I had to share.)
I collect Christmas ornaments. They saw this and
thought of us. Big, "Thank you!!" goes out to them.
It says "Cape San Blas" across the top of it.
Very appropriate!
