Exploring With Ursla And John

Exploring With Ursla And John

I enjoyed the company of Ursula and John as we traveled to one of my secret spots. The shell  collecting was fun with Ursula. We walked and talked about shells found and shells we want to find. The walk was most enjoyable. So much I lost track of time and we had to walk quickly back to the boat. John was more of a walker than a sheller. He enjoyed just walking barefoot on the beach(go John).  We all enjoyed observing the flowering plants. The beautiful sea grape, the nicker bean getting ready to drop it’s seed pod (my favorite), the prickly pear, and wild lantana.  I look forward to our next walking and talking adventure.
