PICS from CORPUS CHRISTI TX

these were taken 2001 to 2004 so the quality of digital photography was not as great as today

White Pelicans
had migrated here

seagulls flying around
getting fresh food that the
flagship stirs up

 terns are playing today

seagulls are sitting here
patiently waiting for a hand out

for the life of me I can't
remember this bird
its some kind of hawk

 This Heron was waiting for
a fish he was watching

he creeped to the water
still has eye on the fish

 love these pipers they are
so stinking cute
this may not be the right name
as I have forgotten most of them

this seagull was posing for me

 playing with the gulls
oh how fun

 blue man of war and seaweed
his tenacles were almost
4 foot long

 Harbor bridge at night

Harbor bridge with
tanker going thru
taken from the aquarium

 Huge Navy ship at port

 H Building don't know why this always
fascinated me

Huge Conk shells found
about 3 miles down
the National Seashore 

Walk way to where I took
the pics of Pelicans

OH HOW I LOVE THIS
FERRY AND SEEING THE dolphins
PORT A FERRY

model for him

3. I saw a cartoon on Facebook highlighting a few 'weird' things that make you happy as an adult. The list included writing with a nice pen, having plans cancelled, freshly cleaned sheets, eating the corner brownie, cleaning the dryer lint screen, and sipping coffee in that brief time before anyone else wakes up. Of the 'weird' things listed which one makes you happiest? What is one more 'weird' thing you'd add to the list?

Is there a word not on the list you'd like to add?

A. nothing burger, really what is a nothing burger?

garbage from past relationship *long story*

Psalm 3:2-62 Many are saying of me, “God will not deliver him.”

 the One who lifts my head high. 4 I call out to the LORD, 
and he answers me from his holy mountain. 5 I lie down and sleep; 
I wake again, because the LORD sustains me. 
6 I will not fear though tens of thousands assail me on every side.
