Magnolia Pier

August has been so beautiful, great weather, ocean water has been warm, 65 degrees is great.  Even though it has been dry, the flowers have vibrant colors. The little sand pipers are so cute as they explore the beach.

Last one to leave the beach

The other day went to the beach after work.  Took a nice swim and sat down to catch up on some reading.  Notice it was very quiet and looked around and totally alone.  Love the beach.

Summer Days 2026

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.

End of a beautiful early summer day

On Tuesday, went to the beach around 2:00 after work.  Love seeing the little kids getting right into the summer mode.  Actually, went swimming with the saltwater soothing the day’s stress away.

Early Spring walk on Magnolia Beach

On Friday took a walk on Magnolia Beach late afternoon.  It was clear, crisp and sunny and took advantage of the nice weather.

Seafoam

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.
