Adventure Location: Rockport, Texas
Today Date: 4-15-2023
It has been an interesting day of computer troubles. We seem to be unable to send email messages and so far have made no progress in getting that fixed.
Also the date of leaving for many of the winter Texans is coming up fast so we have been doing goodbye visitations. Each visitation seems to take at least two hours so we are using a lot of daylight for a very good cause. At the OFM Teams age, you never know if you will see those folks again.
The main fishing supply store here in Rockport, Tackle Town, had the owner die three days ago with no notice is an example. He will be missed for sure.
In the mean time it was a big day of events that kept ALL of the public places full of folks having lots of fun. We finally settled on the Rockport Walmart property to get in some walking without toooooo many folks in the way. The parking location at the southeast parking spot of the parking lot was our taking off spot. From there we followed the curb to the back of the lot and left to the next curb at the far corner of the lot and then left to the property line at the gas station. A moments pause there and followed the same exact path back to Sierra. According to Google Maps that gave us a .97 mile walk. Some where along the way we stopped and took this picture of some seed pods hanging on a fence. It was a lot nicer looking in real life with the many shades of browns and grays.
We will see what we can turn that into with our colored pencils some day.
This weekend is promising to be a busy one again with lots of festival type activity on the public locations around town. With a little luck the temperatures will get back down below 90f and we will get to stop running the AC to stay cool. Everyone try to be safe and happy while you are trying to have tooooo much fun.
Oh my. You've been above 90?? Ah well.. I hope the cooler air here can reach down there. I really really like that photo of those seed pods...and yes, a good subject for painting. I wonder what they are. Have never seen such..
