The Beach

This is the beach at Padre Island National Seashore.


We needed this day at the beach!



The sky was blue. The water was warm.


The birds were....well....birds



Which is to say they flew and pecked at stuff.



I didn't think I was a sea bird kind of person since I consider them rats with wings.


But, I sure got a lot of pictures of them.
And, it wasn't like they were everywhere or anything.


JR sedately walked.


Me? Not so much.


Love,
M

PS. You can thank me later for getting that ugly ole toe off my blog. It was surely creeping me out.

  1. I don't do anything sedately.

    I love the coast; the water isn't as clear and calm as it is in other places, but it's still very beautiful. Rats with wings and all.

  3. he water is still warm when we come to visit, we are so going there!!! Well, maybe even if its not warm,we'll still go. Cuz then I can say I've swam in all 3 bodies of water surrounding the US. I get a kick out of that kind of stuff, yeah I know I'm corny :)

  4. I can't decide which it worse pigeons or seagulls. Actually pigeons are worse, they carry diseases. Plus Seagulls have the funny scene in Finding Nemo.. "mine mine mine mine mine"

  5. Yeah, rats with wings....pretty much what I've always thought. But I'm always amazed when I see them 100 miles inland from the coast. How LONG does it take to fly that far if you're a seagull? Anyone? Huh?

  8. That sounds like a nice relaxing day, except for JR getting his shorts wet and having to walk around in soggy shorts all day. Seagulls suck.

  9. It looks like a beautiful beach! Lovely photos. How long is that beach?

    (You and HB would get along famously as he also considers seagulls to be rats with wings. He hates it when I feed them.)
