Sand

The north end of Siesta Key is 97 % white quartz sand. Easy on the feet, glistening in the sun, and soft to lay on. It also is useful when wet for sand castles.

We rode the open-air, free trolley from Turtle Beach to Siesta Beach  (a pleasant 15 minute ride when someone else is driving) to check out the amateur sand castle competition.

We learned that we must wait until November for the professional sand sculptors event.

In the meantime what blog entry would be complete without a photo of De Anne paddling away in her kayak with me on our balcony.

Happy Mother's Day from sunny Florida!
