Orange Beach 2014 - Week 1

October 1: September went by in a flurry of activity. Our six-week adventure began Oct 1 at 6 am with coffee. By 7:30 we were on the road. At 5:30 we were in our Wind Drift condo.

Summer heat lingers

As falling leaves litter lawns

And geese fly over

First of October

Six-week adventure begins.

Beach sun fish boat fun.

October 2, 6 pm

Storm clouds gathering

Scattered raindrops wet my face

Then quickly over.

October 3:

Allison's first beach

Exploring, discovering

Sand and surf delight.

Owen on the move

Building sand castles, knocking

them down, chasing birds.

October 4:

Cloudless blue above

North wind-calmed sea green ahead

Warm sand underfoot.

October 5: Beach Sunday

Another worship

Not confined by sacred walls

Soul's unbounded awe.

David catches a bull redfish, 33 inches, 18 pounds.

October 6: Feeding the fish and helping catch the bait.

October 7: Sunset beach walk

October 8: Last morning on the beach was perfect, playing in the sand and surf fishing.
