This morning I saw another turtle.  This one was still in the sand laying her eggs.

This is their routine every season.  Since this is my first season here, I am amazed by the sight.  

I made sure to keep my distance and respect her space, so I zoomed in on the photos and videos.

I was so blessed this morning to see a turtle returning to sea after laying her eggs.

Every day I have been seeing a lot of different turtle tracks and taking pictures of them.  This morning I went to walk a little earlier than usual.

I was at the beach around 6:15am. I wanted to go to walk earlier, but was still dark. It is safe here, but why take chances.

I was rewarded with this beautiful sighting.  I am sorry about the shaky video.

amazing nature, blessed nature, evening bike rides, Life, love, Melbourne Beach Pier, sunsets on the pier

I am blessed to start my day with walks on the beach, and to end it with bike rides along the Indian River.

I love discovering new neighborhoods and seeing all the different styles of houses, there are old Florida styles alongside very modern new homes.

But the best part of my evening rides are the sunsets at the Melbourne Beach Pier on the Indian River.

It is just spectacular!!

Here are some pictures from the last couple of days.

amazing nature, beach toys, blessed nature, clean beach, daily walks, Life, love, walking on sand

I have started taking daily walks before going to work.  It has become a good routine that has improved my day.  It makes me feel even more blessed to be able to have this contact with nature first thing in the morning.

On the first day I saw some garbage and other items left behind by the beach goers and decided to pick it up and throw in the trash bin.

In the following days I started taking a bag with me to help with the garbage collection. For the first few days I threw everything out. But the last couple of days I decided to keep some of the children’s toys.  See the 2 pictures below.

The items I find the most are:

  • Children’s plastic toys
  • Hair ties
  • Bottles, cans, bottle caps, plastic cups and straws
  • Suntan lotion bottles
  • Food and candy wrappers
  • Socks (I found 3 pairs in 2 days)

Today I decided to take 2 bags, one for real garbage and one for toys.  Guess what?

Nothing was found, except for a couple of bottle caps.  I am happy to see the beach clean. Today is Friday, I am guessing the beach is the worst after the weekend. I will report back after Monday’s walk.

Wishing everyone a blessed weekend!
