Today being about as perfect as a day can get, we decided to do breakfast on the beach.
We set up camp and watched the world around us.
A sweet scene of a helpful big brother.
A family arrived with three kids, three balloons, and what I thought could only be impending disaster. I mean, who brings balloons to the beach?
Turned out, the balloons had been intended for the stratosphere. The kids lined up, had their picture taken, and then released them to the sky. Perhaps a farewell to someone?
And is there no escape anywhere?
I wasn't too sure what this was all about - a bachelorette party? A sorority event? Whatever it was, it looked pretty fancy, what with their froo-froo matching pink umbrellas.
They even had a signboard up, but I didn't trek over to read it.
And then there were these clueless folks-
And, in fact, I was standing next to this sign when we left, and two women, each with a dog, walked by me and onto the beach.
People.
Great pictures but WHY would someone bring that damn flag to the beach! I almost had to laugh at all the dogs, I love 'em but there's rules for a reason!!
ReplyDeleteThey must have been the non-pooping breeds of dogs.
DeleteSheesh, who brings a Trump flag to the BEACH?
ReplyDeleteExactly the kind of person you’re picturing.
DeleteLooks like a lovely beach day.
ReplyDeleteExcept... dogs do poop, and balloons do not disappear into the stratosphere.
Yes, they probably at some point will fall into the Gulf and choke some poor sea creature.
DeleteMany people don't think the signs apply to them!!
ReplyDeleteStill, looks like a glorious day!
Looks like a fun day spent watching waves and people.
ReplyDeleteWelcome , Linda. Nice to hear from a Canadian reader (you lucky duck).
DeleteWhy, oh why, would someone bring a Trump flag to the beach? That just seems like needless belligerence and provocation. And yes, I had the same concern you mentioned above -- those balloons will go into the water and choke some sea turtle.
ReplyDeleteAs you said, "PEOPLE."
After all, it IS Florida.
