To the coast, to the beach...Mustang Island Monday April 2nd

Chris and I headed to Port Aransas (Mustang Island) on Monday April 2nd. While I drove I handed the camera to Chris. I love seeing the photos she took, totally different perspective than mine, from a fresh point of view, one that hasn't been here before...

We had some ladies take a photo for us and we helped them out by also taking their photo with their camera...
~

It was a rough day at the beach but still a nice adventure!
~

Hey if she can wear it so can we, lol...I love your sense of humor Chris!
~

Rough, Rough, Rough...but beautiful!
~

Chris..."Oh it's a baby bird"...Ahh (me chuckling) No Chris it's not a baby! I think it's a plover, they're smaller than the others...

Ring billed gull

Uh Oh...Portuguese Man O War...Not so good and they were all over the place! I showed Chris the tentacles on one and said stay away from them...I did have vinegar just in case. They were pretty and we did investigate a few of them...The gulls were actually trying to eat this one, yuck.

Sigh...Chris took it...grr...Here I try for years to get a decent photo of a Pelican and she gets one in a matter of seconds with a few shutter clicks!! (My excuse, I was driving)
~

We had lunch here in Port Aransas...
~

Us, waiting on our lunch and enjoying the day...
~

Oh it was sooo good too...Mmm Mmm good!
~

It was this big, ha ha ha...She's quiet the character!!
~

On our way back over the causeway we stopped and checked out Light house trails Kayaking put in on the intercoastal waterway...I so want to do this but we just didn't have the time!
~

Yeah Chris, you made it!!
~
Later that evening we were back at the pool...
~

~

Chris had the camera again and snapped a photo of Michael and I in the pool!

~
We had a great day and took hundreds of photos, this was just a few of them, but you get the idea!! Stay tuned as there are more adventures!

You really showed your friend a good time. Something you will both always remember. I always get Port Aransas and Aransas Pass mixed up. Several years ago I went with a friend to one of them to baby sit her Mom's cat. I do remember we had fun. How much time does it take to feed and pet a cat? lol

Looks like you got fun!!! Very nice adventure. That little bird is, I think, a sanderling. I went ot www.oiseau.net and looked at your waders species but you have so many. I still think it is a sanderling ;-)
