Sweetness

Adventure Location: Rockport, Texas
Estimated Rolling Date: Feb. 1, 2012

It was a gentle day of no adventures and a long nap in the afternoon.  Early, sort of, this morning a check of the water conditions at the harbor brought me a surprise.  The Truck was parked at the foot of the pier in a normal spot.  When my nose exited the Truck a wonderful sweet fragrance of flowers assaulted me with vigor.  It turned out to be some growths in the shell at the corner of the bay and the pier.
The fragrance was a welcome change from the stench of the Red Tides and decaying fish of the recent history in the area.  A closer picture of the flowers was attempted.  If my guess is right these are some lantana flowers.  If not please someone let me know the correct name for them.

At the last part of the evening another visit was paid to the pier area for some walking. My head feels like there is some allergen running around in the air causing my sluggishness.  Light exercise seemed to be in order and it did help.  The atmosphere was quickly turning thick and opaque as the sun set on the harbor.

By the time the Truck was boarded for the trip home everything was dripping wet including me. The cool front tonight should clear out some of the fog and make tomorrow a great day for trying to have tooooo much fun. TheOFM.
