It was a wonderful day to collect sea glass.
I think these are the most
pieces I have found on a single walk.
Jim went out for most of the morning and I did our long walk.
The tide was almost at its lowest level,
the waves were bringing in new shells and glass!
I had a plastic bag with me and was able to collect
quite a bit of garbage as well.
The bad and the ugly!
This jelly fish was about 6 inches across!
Here in our bay we have black volcanic sand.
It is a more sandy color by down by the water.
Over in Punta Chame the sand is a beautiful white.
Miles and miles of white sand,
populated with only a few shore birds and sea gulls.
There is always something happening on this beach.
Lost flip flops, shore birds looking for food,
kayakers padding the surf,
Love letters written in the sand.
Endless enjoyment.
There is an amazing difference
between high tide and low tide here in
Bahia Playa Serena, Gorgona.
When the tide is low, there is a rock that is exposed about a mile or so from shore.
It looks like a humpback whale that just thrashes around.
The shore birds look for the little krill that
come in on the tide.
The walking is easier as the sand is very firm.
Another perfect sunrise.
They are small, colourful and mostly
have messy yards.
They always have chickens and at least a few dogs.
Yet they are somehow very enduring.
These are happy, friendly people.
If you just to say hello and ask how they are,
their face lights up with a smile.
Here are a few homes that I really liked.
Everyday when we walk the beach in the mornings,
we take along a garbage bag to pick up the litter left behind by the weekend crowd.
The litter problem has been getting better each year we come back.
You now can recycle and get a refund and that has made a difference.
We always give the beer cans to one of the local Panamanian guys that collects them...one small step at a time.
This young boy even picked up after his little Beagle, "Juicy"
The sound of the waves,
the movement of the water, the sounds of people having a good time.
Life is a beach!
Today was a busy day on the beach!
The tide has been really high and since this is the windy
season, you need to hang on to your hat.
But it is all good!
Panama has some of the best coffee we have ever enjoyed.
The climate and latitude
up in Boquete is very suitable for growing
these coffee beans.
Before driving back to Gorgona,
we went to the Artisan Market on the Armador Causeway.
I love these beautiful woven baskets.
The ships waiting to enter the canal.
Back at our condo,
a faint rainbow after a brief rain.
