Another great Beach day at Good Harbor

Posted on by Donna Ardizzoni

Wonderful Wednesday at Good Harbor Beach., with many smiling beach goers.   The ocean was telling a story.  The Purple and Red flags were hanging from the light guard stand.  The Red Flag is for rough seas and purple for marine life, such as jelly fish.  I did not see any jelly fish.  The Purple Flag does not indicate sharks.  It was a beauty of a day.

A Killdeer bird at Good Harbor Beach

Posted on by Donna Ardizzoni

This bird was right next to my truck in the parking lot at Good Harbor Beach.

Reblogged  from the Audubon Website.

Widespread, common, and conspicuous, the Killdeer calls its name as it flies over farmland and other open country. Like other members of the plover family, this species is often found at the water’s edge, but it also lives in pastures and fields far from water. At times, it nests on gravel roofs or on lawns. Many a person has been fooled by the bird’s ‘broken-wing’ act, in which it flutters along the ground in a show of injury, luring intruders away from its nest.

The Magnolia Fourth of July Parade

This little parade is so much fun. Little kids with pink poppers, a new way to get around, horse with pedals, smiling couples, and a view.  Thank you to the committee and participants.

My little friend wishes everyone a Happy July Fourth

It seems like this cutie knows when I am leaving the beach. Almost always next to my truck.  It could be due to the lovely clover for dinner.

After a wonderful Fiesta Weekend spent a couple of hours at the beach.  So grateful.  Saw a Starfish under the sea attached to a rock and felt relaxation with no anxiety.

On Monday night, the Strawberry Moon did not disappoint.  Since we were tired from a great Fiesta weekend, sat on the deck and took the photo.

Sunday Fiesta 2026

Posted on by Donna Ardizzoni

On Sunday, Fiesta was special.  The mass that takes place at St. Peter’s Park is always inspirational.  The smell of the food, the sounds of the rides and happy people make for an enjoyable day.  The Greasy Pole and Seine boats were a challenge with the fog coming in.  Congratulations to Derek Hopkin for his win on Sunday.  The Seine boats were postponed until Monday at 5:00.  Thank you, the Fiesta Committee, for another successful event.  Looking forward to the 100th next year.

Friday’s Fiesta VIVA

Friday’s Fiesta did not disappoint.   Seine Boat races and the Greay Pole competition were fun.  Frank Neal the Friday Night Greasy Pole winner was impressive.  Watching the walkers hanging on and trying to get back was inspiring.  Tonnos’s selling Cannoli’s on Stacy Boulevard.

 

2026 Fiesta 5K

Posted on by Donna Ardizzoni

On Thursday night, Fiesta 5 K took place.  There were 1800 runners and lots of supporters along the way.  I went to the start to take a look who was running.  As Pat D mentioned there was an impressive group running for Chris Daily.  Enjoyed the young kids running and kids in strollers with four footed friends.  Thank you everyone who sponsored and the committee who made this event a success.
