can anyone really come up with something better to do on a saturday morning than this?
woke up around 7:15, took care of the dog, grabbed some cereal, packed a couple books, the cooler, and took off.
skies were clear, water was gorgeous, shells were plentiful, and the temps were perfect.
saw a very cool solar halo while out. we’ve seen them before, but not this big or clear.
we stayed until noon and took off. it was the perfect way to spend a saturday morning.
the sky is on fire

we’re in the season for big clouds and sunsets even more spectacular than usual. tonight we took big dog out for a 3 hour stroll on pensacola beach.
the way the sky changes so quickly and gives so many colors, shapes, hues, and focal points – it never ceases to amaze us.
there was a large cloud front moving in from the north – watching the sunset BEHIND that – it was multiple layer sunset goodness!
while we were sloshing around in the water, lise made a killer shell find – a large 3″ alphabet cone!
this is only the 2nd one we’ve found even close to the 3″ range – quite a find, let me tell you!
after a particularly strange day at school, this was a good way to end it: together, everyone happy, relaxed, and ready to come home and crash.
speaking of which…
