On the beach, purple flags mean “marine warning”. This morning several months ago, the Portuguese Men of War were in the waters and washed onshore. Like Jelly fish their liquids sting and burn. So looking downward while walking is highly advised. Copyright 2024 Pamela BreitbergThe Men of War wash onshore during high tide and are often stranded, ending their life when they become dry. This one seemed to dance in the shallow waters. Unable to steer on its own, it rode onto shore and then back out into the sea multiple times as the waters ebbed and floed. Nature’s designs continue to amaze. Copyright 2024 Pamela Breitberg
