Blue umbrellas

Walking Stacy Boulevard on a beautiful summer day, noticed the blue umbrellas at the Beauport Hotel.  Did you also notice the red tent.  So pretty.

 

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.

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

Lion’s Mane Jelley Fish on Magnolia Beach

Posted on by Donna Ardizzoni

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.

Waiting for the “Gloucesterman” Launch to their Sail Boat

A little dreary at the State Pier

Posted on by Donna Ardizzoni

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.
