Seafoam

Reblogged from

National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration

How does sea foam form? Like filling up a bubble bath or steaming a latte, sea foam forms when certain molecules in the water are mixed until they’re frothy. In the ocean, DECAYING MARINE LIFE releases organic molecules, including proteins and fats, into the water. Some proteins and fats can act as SURFACTANTS.

 

Another beach day

Went to the beach after work on Monday.  The clouds were coming in and looked very threatening.  The wind picked up and rain went around us.

Another beautiful beach day

May favorite and happy place is the beach.  Love the salt water on my skin and hair.  It is very healing and brings down your blood pressure.

 

View of beach from Magnolia Pier float

On Monday the skies were clear and blue.  Walking to Magnolia Pier and sitting on float was delightful.   The houses on the shore add to the view.

My happy place

This is the only way to end a workday.  The ocean is still a little chilly but to feel the salt on your skin and is worth it.

Afternoon walk on Magnolia Beach

After a workday, went for a nice walk on Magnolia Beach.  Non rain on Wednesday afternoon the sky was so pretty.

End of a beautiful April day

Shocking that I went to the beach on Monday.  Had to go and get out of the office.  The beach is not only my happy place, but also a healing place.

Making memories of a hazy summer day

Love our salty kids who love the beach.  These kids have so much fun at the beach.  I say they are making memories as they are enjoying the ocean.

 

Beach weekend

So lucky and blessed to be able to walk to a beach and enjoy.   If you look at the photo with the float, there is a woman, whom by the way is a very funny person, she is blowing up the float.  She told me it takes her almost an hour.  Love the beach.
