We
are visiting the Gulf Islands National Seashore for a few days. We visited in November, but we didn’t have a
chance to enjoy the beaches and swim in the gulf. From the campground we can walk to either
sandy beaches with fairly large waves on the gulf side or swim on the calmer
inland waters of Pensacola Bay. On our
first day we swam in the gulf. There was
a single red flag flying, meaning the waves were high but it wasn’t too
bad. Love bobbing in the waves! Unfortunately, we stayed out a bit long and
the sunscreen didn’t work well in the water so we were a bit sunburned for the
next few days.
I
walked on an interpretative trail during my morning walk. This one was funny. This is a picture of a dead Live Oak (OK, not
so funny, but I was amused and I love the shape of the tree).
Plus, I love the Latin name and story behind Ilex Vomitoria!
