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:

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.)

What a great view you have!
Beautiful views!!
Love the pictures. Makes me a little homesick for Texas. However, after a rain the other day, I went outside just before sunset and everything had a pink glow. Wanted to take a picture but knew that I wouldn’t be able to capture the lovely haze with my little camera.
