Two weeks later

The mockingbird eggs in my post of July 5 are now fuzzy little birds. Here's the last one to leave the nest.

Those of you in town today, Saturday July 17, stop by Neilson's Surf Shop in south Cocoa Beach next to Anthony's on the Beach for a benefit for Noah Neilson. Surf contest, BBQ, raffles and hang out with friends and south Cocoa Beach locals. Show your support for a good guy, one of our own, who needs your help. Make online donations here.

Dogs and birds

Looking west towards the schools from a Cocoa Beach backyard yesterday. Kids in the skiff taking the dog for a boat ride while ibises root for food in a freshly mowed lawn.

More surfing kids

Little girls were tearing it up Sunday in the small waves.

Little surfer girl

This little girl was catching a few fun peelers yesterday in south Cocoa Beach with her sisters.

Fishing at the Pier

Junior is hooked up to a big one at the Cocoa Beach Pier.

Mockingbird

Mockingbird eggs look like big smooth beads of turquoise.

Sea oats planting progress

Back in February I planted 96 sea oat seedlings on the beach out back. This is what it looked like on the day I planted. Click the pictures for a bigger size.





Four months later and all 96 are not only alive but are thriving. This is what they look like now.
