This Evening's Beach Scene

Hippie Market

Across the street (6908 Thomas Drive, Panama City Beach, FL) is a new business called the Hippie Market which has a wonderful coffee bar, free wi-fi and several kiosks for local vendors to sell their wares.



According to Joe the owner, next weekend is their grand opening and eventually, they will have an Italian restaurant. Since Joe is from Naples, Italy, it all makes perfect sense!

Pigeons of Panama

Growing up in Burbank, we were surrounded by palm trees and often heard the cooing of doves/pigeons (same), so it is a blessing to again be surrounded by the same here in Florida!





In the Hebrew Bible, doves or young pigeons are acceptable burnt offerings for those who can't afford a more expensive animal and in the book of Genesis, Noah sent out a dove after the great flood in order to determine how far the floodwaters had receded. Dove is also a term of endearment in the Song of Songs and elsewhere. In the New Testament, Jesus's parents sacrifice doves on his behalf after his circumcision and later the Holy Spirit descended upon Jesus at his baptism like a dove, and subsequently the dove became a common Christian symbol of the Holy Spirit.

Another Lovely Sunset Last Night

Now that I'm living at the beach, you will see A LOT of these types of photos!

New Digs and New Job!

Moved into my new apartment this week which is 200 feet from the water and found out TODAY I got the job I wanted - thank You, LORD!!

This Afternoon at the Beach

Took a 5 min bike ride to the beach and walked along the shore...





Fun watching the Sandpipers...
