Snow-free state

~ Tara R.

Saturday I took advantage of living in the only one of the 50 states without snow (a statistic I find dubious), the almost spring-like temps (60s… in January!) and the clear blue skies to again make my way to the beach.

I went to Navarre where last summer the BP oil spill first made landfall in this area. I was happy to see the water and the beaches have made a remarkable, and seemingly full recovery. The sand was littered, not with oily debris, but shells in beautiful shades of pink, cream and orange.

The fishing pier was open and I walked out to the end, admiring how gorgeous the Gulf waters were. Sitting on one of the many benches, I soaked in the sun, the salt air and the gentle sound of the waves breaking on the beach.

It was a lovely day.
