On the Beach...

Greetings from the Gulf of Mexico!
As you know, I'm taking a winter vacation in Florida. Just as our weather here was warming up, it's become rather balmy in Duluth. Go figure. I learned from the weather reports that all of the warm air from the Gulf caused the warm-up back home. A nice gift from the south.  The moon was full and the Gulf surf wild last evening. It was still churning as we walked the beach today. We've noticed a unique "beach art" piece lodged in the sand in the beach in front of our rental condo. It obviously was constructed by a creative person with some amount of engineering skill as the structure is solidly anchored so that it withstands high tide and winds. It's made of driftwood, shells, rope and other gifts brought in by the sea. A candy life saver and toy car are discretely added, obviously of significance to the creator. Today a beach comber added a wind sock. Kinda neat. More later...
