Started the day with breakfast at Grumpy's. Got to the beach and was welcomed by Crabby. This set the scene for a wonderful day with nature. Looking out on the Gulf. . .
This is just one of many in the area that was devastated by a "blow out" a few years ago. The local fisherman appear to support the incoming national administration believing, I assume, that there will be regulations and safeguards against a repeat of that disaster.
I love beachcombing but this was a tad large to bring home. Also, I had no idea for adapted reuse. (It was about 6 feet in diameter.)
Of course I have to included my bird of the day, artistically framed with the Gulf waters in the background. I add that to justify selling copies at 100 bucks a pop (unmatted and unframed), signed and numbered of course. OK, it's a joke but I have seen same in "the gallery" and "Images by Rene" was not joking.
"Andy's Artsy-Fartsy Photography" portfolio would not be complete without a driftwood shot. This is a limited edition creation and well, don't ask, you can't afford it.
The beach and the dune area is part of the Bon Secour Wildlife Refuge and near Fort Morgan, a state historical site. It was on the map but there were no direction signs along the road. Although open to the public I believe the powers think it prudent not to encourage visitation. The access road left a bit to be desired. I took this photo at the point where we parked. It shows where we had been. It was not quite as nice going further toward the beach. What there was would have made a challenging bike path.
