Spent a little while on the public beach here in Biloxi, MS yesterday... quite amazing how far you can walk out before it gets  past your knees; not what I'm used to. I shot some underwater pix with a "disposable" 35mm, but we'll have to see what I caught with that. Here's what I caught with the ol' Kodak:


A crusty old conch shell...

     



I still don't know what this is, although I often see them up North... looks almost like a snake skin.

     


Quite a few sailboats out beyond the drop-off...

     


Also plenty of dead catfish on th beach for some reason.

     


A surprisingly intact crab; also dead:

     


Half of a porpoise jaw- I have seen them hunting in the channel just behind the casino.

     

Being inside the Keesler airspace, I was hoping for some good spotting... but all I got was this 172 crawling along the beach ...

Interesting walk along the beach, Sean......something I like to do, but have a hard time convincing Wendy to accompany me ........she thinks the stuff we find to shoot, isn't worth the time to take the shots and post them for the in-landers....... :-?

Thanks for the look at the Gulf coast findings.......... 8-)

Morbide series here Sean...  ;)

Looking great though... How's the Gulf of Mexico suiting you?

Hey, that looks just like the Jersey shore!!  

 Except for the Catfish!!

Nice shots, Sean!!

Still having fun!!

nice set of shots mate :-)

#2 is actually egg sacks.  I have a bunch at my house, since I'm from south Mississippi.  I used to frequent that beach and sail all around the area.  Keesler doesn't have that many ops, just a couple of c-130 squadrons there.

I figured they were egg sacks... but what kind? Skate, or something like that? I seem to remember that being the case.

Saw another Herc doing t&gs today while I was at the seafood place on Division Street; too bad I didn't have the camera. Aren't the legendary "Hurricane Hunters" based there?

Depends on which Hurricane Hunters you are referring to.  The USAF squadron know as that is based there with their C-130J s.  The NOAA Hurricane Hunters are based in Florida I believe.  I believe those are skate or sting ray egg sacks.  My sisters used to bring them home all the time.
