January 31, 2015 Gulf State Park, Alabama

It was sunny and windy. Only got up to the low 60’s, but was not too bad out of the sun.

I rode my bike in to harvest some long leaf pine needles. The trees are gorgeous. They can grow up to 130 feet tall. This is a little one. The needles are average of 15 inches, some as long as 20 inches. In this photo if my fingers were touching the trunk the needles would be up to my elbow.  Really long. These bundles of needles are on the picnic table and about as wide as it is. They are tied with grocery bags, they are too big for rubber bands. About 4-6 inches in diameter. Fabulous for baskets.

Red curly dock blossoms. I walked down to the beach for sunset again. I just love the white sand.

The sand kind of looks like  corduroy- groomed snow. Share the beach, sea turtles lay eggs here.

There were a bunch of these red things in the sand, I think they are petals from a silk flower. More white sand.

Moon rising and sun setting on the beach.
