Florida, Gulf Islands Nat Seashore

Pensacola is a developed strip as one would find anywhere now, adjacent to the sea. But there is a preserved bit I guess, a 4 mile strip which is still rather pristine, though plagued by hurricanes.

It was going to drop in temp and rain. I had planned to arrive in a good spell of weather, and hit it right, though the temp differences made it too windy to paint on the beach. Also where I usually paint it was inundated with people walking, hands in their jackets, against the wind, striding the beach, instead of happily camped out in the sun --leaving me alone. So I didn't attempt it.

I went to the bay beach and was happily alone to paint.

I had made a similar one ,m last trip. I like to see the differences, which point out where to go.
