Sand Fest is over. I don’t think I got enough of it.
Cloudy days
Warm days are nice. Sunny days are nice. But I find it doesn’t have to be warm and sunny on the same day. If it’s going to be eighty-five degrees and humid, I’m fine with clouds. I don’t need the solar gain of direct sun as well. Sand Fest rules: Sand and water only. No glue. No supporting structure. You might see some wires sticking out the top, but the wires aren’t allowed to provide any support. The wires are only to prevent gulls from landing and wrecking the artwork.
The most amazing thing!
After all this time; me going on and on about my leg; not a single person has asked to see a picture. Not one person! Go figure. Our patio. What a busy place to spend a morning. Coots, carp, turtles, grackles, gulls, whistling ducks, hummingbirds, dowitchers, dragonflys, spoonbills, sparrows, warblers. It’s a busy place. Birding in Corpus Christi today. Rose Hill Cemetery. Great Crested Flycatcher. Blucher Park. Yellow breasted chat. Ovenbird. American redstart. Blue winged warbler. Gray cheeked thrush. Long billed thrasher. And #498 Swainson’s Warbler!
