Title: Some MS Beach Shots
Post by: Riley Smith on Nov 27, 2025, 11:46 PM
 It was Low tide! Bu I thought some pics of the beach might be enjoyable. And at least it was sunny and the water clarity for this place was phenomenal. Plenty of pelicans, and a young eagle from Graveline to the west of us. No...didn't get the eagle darn it. But I did get the white pelican last night in the light pool of the pier.

It is not unusual seeing them swim around at night, and are visible in ANY reflected light. It makes for a strange sight to see several white blobs out on a dark black coastline.

Just before dark, I saw two monarchs hiding in the Spanish Moss on the old Labrot oak tree at the water's edge.

There are all sorts of butterflies still about along the shore. And the pelicans stayed on the attack until black dark I think.

Speaking of which, the crab guy has some cool friends!

There were diamonds on the water today as we ate and I crept out the kitchen door and shot this one of Round Island and Middle River.
