Galveston Island State Park, Galveston, Texas
The highway of the upright avoids evil; he who guards his way guards his life. ~ Proverbs 16:17
Once again behind, I opted to stay home and work on my blog posts while Blaine took off on his bike to get some exercise and fresh air.
An Egret, a flock of Ibis, and a small gathering of Roseate Spoonbills!
Aren’t the Spoonbills beautiful!
Much like flamingos, they get their pink color from eating shrimp. : )
Leads me to wonder – – maybe it’s me they fly away squawking from . . .
He’s learned a lot in 2 1/2 years of traveling with me. : )
On his way home, he stopped to join the party gathering at the neighbors, where it seemed several people from the campground were accepting the Eyre’s invitation to test ride their e-bikes (electric bike). I noticed Blaine coming around the bend and snapped a picture of him – not pedaling, but still going quite fast. Eventually, with a specific invitation from Blaine, I left the confines of my laptop and joined the party as well. And took a test drive myself. I wasn’t sold on the idea. Fifteen-hundred-dollar price tag aside. There’s no exercise value and I felt out of control as it sped around the loop without my assistance. However, I could definitely use it on those hills we come across sometimes!
This is how it works – – it has a small electric motor on it that can either help you pedal, or go all by itself.
Even though it was not such a nice day today, we still walked the beach in a fairly stiff breeze that came from a generally southernly direction, which served to churn up the waters of the Gulf of Mexico. We enjoyed our afternoon walk, even in the fog and mist!
It’s sand!
Blown into little whisps by the dampness and breeze.
Very cool!
I put this picture in from two days ago, so you can compare!
And also from later today on our way back!
Blaine liked the one in the back with the green roof.
It’s a piece of coral I found that Blaine placed on a piece of driftwood to photograph.
Blaine added to it. : )
Do you see why?
They still use it, because we saw a car on it. Yikes!
Hmmm . . .
This is where we turned around.
Afterwards, I returned to my laptop. 😊
