A Little More Texas

We were at “Port A” for 12 days last month, which we greatly enjoyed, despite the fact it was a working vacation.  We have a condo we like to visit from time to time.  Because it’s in rental when we aren’t there, it needs some concentrated TLC at least once a year. 

We had quite a range of weather this year — cloudy, REALLY cloudy, REALLY-REALLY-ALMOST-SCARY stormy, and absolutely never-been-better beautiful.  So some pics…a beautiful day on the Gulf:

 I think the storm is here!  This was taken at 11:30 a.m. on a Sunday morning:

The weird light after the storm/rain:

A beautiful sunset — and this is kind of a reflected sunset.  We are facing kind of south/southeast:

HotSunset

This was the most unusual sight — the Gulf was almost smooth and the evening light made the water look like a pale aqua mirror.  I tried adjusting the camera settings every which way, and just couldn’t capture what the eye could see.  This was as close as I could come:

And a favorite view — DH Jim enjoying a walk on the beach.  (And darn it!  I got the water line crooked again!  Oh, well, he’ll get extra exercise walking uphill.)

CCC Blog Hop — Day 3

Today Pat Sloan is the featured quilt artist!  She has a free pattern on her site for a festive holiday pillow.  Check it out, and leave a comment on her blog.  She even offers a kit to make the pillow!   (The pillow is bigger than it looks — the pattern calls for a regular size pillow.  Cool!)
