Another day at the beach

It was another beautiful day to spend at the ocean. There were some "interesting" people at the beach. One was a very schizophrenic homeless man who was walking around talking to himself..he seemed harmless enough until he started hovering around 2 young girls..they called the police but in the meantime 2 men decided to handle it...one being an ex police officer. He put his fists up immediately at first but then backed off and picked up his things His belongings were of camouflage material which made me wonder if he had been in the military with post traumatic stress..he was only in his mid 20's or so....sad.
There were 2 men who sat next to us...a man from New Jersey who had brought his very ill dad with Parkinson's to the beach. It was very touching to see the son gingerly helping his dad sit, take off his t shirt and put his sun tan lotion on and then help him to walk to the water's edge. There was a very nice woman who volunteered her umbrella for them to sit under. The picture above shows my sister talking to the father while the son went to take their things to the car. You could see his face light up as he talked about how much he loved the ocean.
No matter where you are...there are always interesting people with interesting stories to their lives.
There also was a short period of time when they called everyone out of the water because of a shark sighting...YIKES!!
