John and Ginger's last walk for the season

Our last walk was on August 27th, but since my computer had to be replaced, I am just now getting around to posting it.

It is always sad to say goodbye to sea turtle season and since our last walk, we have watched many baby hatchlings make their way into the open waters of the Mighty Atlantic!  Always amazing!  and I always feel blessed to be a witness to this beautiful event in nature.

We were actually greeted with dark clouds on the morning of our last walk, but the beach is always magnificent in any weather.

Today we collected only 4 bags of trash which included the following:

18 butts

11 straws

6 plastic bottles

5 shoes

1 aluminum can

3 articles of clothing (2 mismatched socks and 1 bra insert)

5 toys

27 plastic bottle caps

1 metal bottle cap

1 pair of reading glasses

2 plastic cups

2 ziplock bags

I am thankful for starting each Monday (each week) of the summer by walking on Wrightsville Beach with John.  What a life!!!
