Seen around Beach & Town

Treasure Island presented the 10th annual Sanding Ovations Master's Cup  this past weekend. Sand sculptors from around the world competed.









The Sculptors Choice and I suspect most technically difficult was Fusion by JOOheng Tan from Singapore.

















"Circular Argument" by Abe Waterman (Canada) won 2nd Place and another Sculptors Choice.

This green-haired walking mermaid (I only took a picture from the back to avoid being seen snapping away) is unexplained but a spot of fun

others choose to have mailbox fun --

No eagles at home sad for us.

in cell tower; no one home!

We went by the mounds of the original inhabitants of Florida and then

no plastic here

back to basketry and volunteering. We had a blast at the Great American Teach-In where the 3rd graders/age ~8 spontaneously made up a turtle song!

 It is busy once more on the beach;
what do you suppose these guys are up to???

looking for smugglers or just
enjoying the beach on patrol???

Happy Thanksgiving!
