Love my shift at the Welcoming Center at Stage Fort Park. The porch and the gazebo are very inviting.

Love this time of the year
After working, my main concern is taking a swim and relaxing at the beach. Magnolia Harbor with the pier makes such a pretty view.

A break in the clouds
Magnolia Pier is one of my favorite places to walk. The flags are waving, and the weather was starting to break.

After the fog
On Saturday, the fog cleared, and the sun came out. Of course, I headed for the beach.

Lion’s Mane Jelley Fish on Magnolia Beach
Walking the beach noticed many lion’s mane jelly fish. They can sting be careful.
Reblogged from Wipeakia
The lion’s mane jellyfish (Cyanea capillata) is one of the largest known species of jellyfish. Its range is confined to cold, boreal waters of the Arctic, northern Atlantic, and northern Pacific Oceans. It is common in the English Channel, Irish Sea, North Sea, and in western Scandinavian waters south to Kattegat and Øresund. It may also drift into the southwestern part of the Baltic Sea (where it cannot breed due to the low salinity). Similar jellyfish – which may be the same species – are known to inhabit seas near Australia and New Zealand. The largest recorded specimen was measured off the coast of Massachusetts in 1865 and had a bell with a diameter of 210 centimetres (7 feet) and tentacles around 36.6 m (120 ft) long.[2] Lion’s mane jellyfish have been observed below 42°N latitude for some time in the larger bays of the East Coast of the United States.

A little dreary at the State Pier
On Wednesday the skies were gray, and the air was humid. Took a walk on the State Pier. The only blue was the color of a couple of boats and a house in the distant. Time for the sun to come back out.

A cloudy day on Magnolia Pier
Took a walk to Magnolia Pier after the rain. We did need the rain and the flowers are happy. Magnolia Harbor was quiet and peaceful with Kettle Island waiting for kayakers.

Sunday Mass and beautiful procession
On Sunday, Mass at St. Peter’s Park was crowded and wonderful. After the Mass, the procession did not disappoint. It is wonderful to see the traditions continue. Thank you to The Fiesta Committee and the first responders who keep everyone safe.
