Eeeeewwww - Found this little guy on the ocean side of the inlet. Must have strayed too far from fresh water because you never see snakes in the ocean. And, it has a diamond pattern like a water snake. It was still alive, but barely. Can't decide how it got there since it was too far from any grassy areas and would have had to traveled a long way through the sand. Thought it was picture-worthy!
Low tide on the inlet. The tide was way out for this picture on Friday night. Notice the sand blowing across the beach, too. Friday was the windiest day we had on the beach.
The love of my life on the beach at sunset. Unfortunately, the sun does not set over the ocean there - it probably rises over the ocean, but I would have had to get up way too early to see for myself.
