Wonderful flowers. I've been to Padre Island many times but haven't paid much attention to Laguna Madre, my loss.

Debbie Well, it really isn't a 'before and after'...it's just several different areas along the walkway.

"I loved these photos, in special the third one, with his yellow florzinhas and the waves to the bottom"

Beautiful shots!!! I love that name, Laguna Madre. I am in east Texas and have never been to Padre Island. I seriously think I will pack up my camera and head that way this summer.
Have a great day!

Hi Anni ... wow! Breathtakingly beautiful. Postcards or framed prints that sell for hundreds! I wish that I was there to see everything in person. I also really liked the pelican photos, and your background/header (I saw them the other day, but I don't think that I told you.)

I appreciate you stopping by to visit. Have a great rest of the week!

Ooooh, such wonderful patches of wildflowers!! I can't wait to see flowers growing around here. Actually the snow finally melted from where my flowerbeds are at the front of the house and I have tulips, crocuses and daffodils coming up about 3 inches! Woohoo! lol Now if the rest of the snow would melt I'd be all set:-) xoxo

BLOGGER'S new Word Verification RANT

First off all, it's very time consuming when you tend to repay visits from those who leave comments on your blog!!! Secondly, it's very difficult to decipher...it's annoying...it's a pain in the butt! Literally. Think about it, for every blog that has this WORD VERIFICATION; taking two or more attempts to type in the correct combination - multiply that by some 30-40 blogs that you visit ---that takes up a lot of minutes/hours trying to be courteous and kind to those who leave you a comment and expect a visit from you in return, and you have that nasty word verification enabled!! If you don't get a lot of comments, and have word verification on your blog -- you have no one to blame but yourself.

        petitioned by: ~Anni

HOW TO DISABLE
WORD VERIFICATION
IN BLOGGER
Open Dashboard
Click on Settings
Click on COMMENTS scroll down to:
Show word verification for comments?
Click "NO"

scroll down to:
SAVE SETTINGS!!!

PS: If you have the NEW Blogger INTERFACE, there is no option...you can fix that!!! GO TO THE OLD BLOGGER INTERFACE that you find on the newer version [a link] --then, follow the settings -comments- NO word verification -save. You can then have the option to return to the new interface or remain in the old style.

MY POLITICAL SOAPBOX
So many times, I've read comments posted by our own citizens under political articles about USA. And these citizens [the ones that vote for our leaders] keep referring to our country as being a Democracy!!!
Let me tell you......
THE UNITED STATES IS NOT a DEMOCRACY...it's a REPUBLIC! There is a difference. You recite, and/or read "...and to the Republic, for which it stands..."
In a Republic, the sovereignty or 'power' resides in the people of this country themselves, whether one or the majority of the populace. In a Republic, one may act on his own or through his representatives as he chooses to solve a problem; for instance elected politicians. Further, we, the people have no obligation to the government; instead, the government, being elected officials and paid salaries by the people, is obliged to its owner, us - the people.
So, when you go vote: remember, YOU ARE THE SOVEREIGNTY or power of the dominion - The United States of America, and YOU LIVE IN A REPUBLIC ---oust those who make you believe otherwise.
