The Disappearing Beach

Usually there aren’t any rocks showing like this, but the sand has been disappearing. The beach is narrow now. Many of the turtle nests have been washed away.

As you can see, this marked nest has been damaged by Mother Nature.

There’s about 15 yards of beach left, where once it was 100 yards.

 

We can still walk on the beach and we remember one year in the eight we’ve been here where you couldn’t walk because the water was all the way up to the bluff.

I have to be careful throwing the ball for Isabela, as she keeps her eye on the ball and not where she’s going.

It’s fun to witness all the changes every year. The beach will return to its “normal” before long.

The French have a saying, “Plus ça change, plus c’est la même chose.” The more things change, the more they stay the same.

Sounds about right, don’t you think?
