Back to normal... almost

The surf today... clear, calm and not a cloud in the 75º sky. Wow!

The surf two days ago... murky with seaweed from a tropical weather event off the coast.

Yes, finally the seas have calmed and the huge chunks of the Sargasso Sea that have been deposited here lately are subsiding. Huh?
The Sargasso Sea is a huge mass of seaweed that floats in the currents of the Atlantic Ocean starting about 60 miles off our coast. (This map is not mine but thanks to a Google search.) 

The seaweed on the beach and in the tall surf of two days ago, seen above as brown waves, is now gone. Hurrah! The masses of seaweed still on the beach will eventually disappear as the sea reclaims it.
But today, lounging on the sand was an interesting piece of driftwood that reminded me of  a sea monster...

and a house that was here yesterday is gone today! Poof. Eaten by a big yellow monster. 

Even the osprey enjoying this day seems to be producing its own contrail. 

What an interesting and varied day this has turned out to be!
