On the southern tip of Anastasia Island, the Guana Tolomato Matanzas Reserve protects the shores of Matanzas Inlet. We’ll hope they’re more effective in this mission than Fort Matanzas was, in its centuries-long mission to protect St. Augustine from various marauders.
As we wandered along the shore we saw many stranded jellyfish, with similar ones bobbing around in the water. Thus far I have failed to identify this critter.
We also saw beach blossoms, likewise unidentified.
But I know what this is and what it looks like.
“Thus far I have failed to identify this critter.” — It’s a stitchwort!
Barbara – A jellywort, perhaps . . .
How much plastic did you see?
Barbara – Very little. The beaches and surf were remarkably clean.
Ah, I see the dog has been there.

Jim, you made me laugh!
