...and beyond.
This will be a quick post and not much gabbing from me for the moment. I'll just describe the photos and then, let you go on with what you were doing---
Adobe Privacy Fences are 'the norm' for the ritzy area of town. This particular photo was taken along Ocean Drive. Yes, named so 'cause the Gulf of Mexico is their back yards here...
During bird migration, we try to make a trip to Mustang Island a couple days a week. The day these were taken, it was along the Ship Channel that cargo ships use to get into the Port of Corpus Christi...some, 20 miles long [just a guesstimate on my part]. When the ships depart from Corpus, heading out to sea, the ships' bows, if you watch closely, are always active with the quirky fun loving dolphins, escorting them safely out to open waters. Also, the couple of photos of the waves are the bow's wake that washes along the jetties. If lucky, you can spot dolphins playing along the jetty also---
...and the other day, while trekking along Indian Point Trail, the pathway was brilliant with Texas' Firewheel blossoms!!!

The dolphins put a smile on my face this a.m.! I love the colorful flowers too. Wishing you a great day.
ReplyDeleteHello Anni, I love the dolphins. It is always a treat for me to see them.. The flowers are gorgeous..It would be nice to house a house on the gulf facing the water, until a storm comes.. Have a happy day!
ReplyDeleteOkay, I want to live there too, what a piece of paradise.....
ReplyDeleteYour photographs are true treasures! Those dolphin are beautiful and so are the flowers!
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful day!

Great shots! The adobe fence is beautiful and I imagine at night with the lights on it is a pretty entrance. Love those dolphins and the flowers are incredible.
ReplyDeleteHave a great day.

Oh, I just love the dolphin pictures. Don't they know how to have fun? And the pretty wildflowers, too, are a delight. :-)
ReplyDeleteGaillardia is gorgeous, but nothing beats dolphins; sorry!
ReplyDeleteFunny story: The folks took me to Sea World shortly before my graduation, and whilst there I was walking around one of the dolphin tanks with the glass sides. It wasn't long before I realised a large group of folks had seated themselves and were pointing at me, laughing and applauding. I quickly reversed course, heading back for Mom and Pop, when the people got even louder and more enthusiastic. When I got back to the folks they were laughing so hard tears were streaming down their faces... it seems all the dolphins in the tank started following me. When I moved, they swam along, when I stopped they did too, and when I reversed course, so did they... and I hadn't noticed a thing! Apparently the people watching thought I was a 'warm-up' for the actual show, lol.
love the adobe walls! i'd love to have a wall around this entire place - about 8 feet tall, please. :)
ReplyDeleteme too. But, for your ranch land, I'm sure that'd be a hefty price tag. But, seriously, you can't fence those whistler's in. [just kidding]
Deletewhen we spy dolphins playing we get sooooo excited. they are fantastic.. love the flower shots to
ReplyDeleteThank you for the dolphins, Anni. How lovely to see them this morning! They always make me smile, they seem to be such happy creatures and, as you said, fun loving. The Firewheel is gorgeous - brilliant colors!
ReplyDeleteWhat great pictures,, especially of the dolphins! And aren't the flowers gorgeous? I know just where that adobe type fence is on Ocean Drive~

ReplyDeleteWow, dolphins!!!! And good pictures of them, too. Beautiful flowers! I love the name Firewheel. Here, we have flowers like this and call them Blanket Flowers. I wonder if they could be the same?
ReplyDeleteFirewheel! Good gracious what pretty flowers they are.
ReplyDeleteHow fun to watch the dolphins. Those flowers are really pretty
ReplyDeleteHow nice it would be to have the Gulf of Mexico for your back yard.

ReplyDeleteI would love to be where I could see dolphins on a regular basis...just always liked them...and those Firewheel blossoms are gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteWhat great photos of the dolphins. I usually have to take a lot of pics to catch one out of the water. Enjoy your week! Hugs, Diane

ReplyDeleteNeat entryway gate, and the firewheels are so bright and beautiful! But, I'm loving that dolphin sighting! What fun!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great way to spend the day! And those firewheels are just beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI'm back to answer a question you left at my place. Yes - Oliver has moved. He was Heather's cat so when they came back from their honeymoon, he went to their new place.I blogged about it, but I think it was when you were recuperating. I do miss him!
ReplyDeleteOkay...I didn't realize that Oliver was Heather's cat....but now that you mentioned it, I do recall that long ago.
DeleteI love the dolphins and colorful flowers. This is a wonderful posting. I enjoyed your photos very much.
ReplyDeleteHi Anni, The Dolphins are great and the flowers too. Very nice post! Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteOh I love the dolphins!! Excellent photos and happy Friday

Good Morning, Anni! Just stopping back to say thank you for linking up! Have a happy weekend!
ReplyDeleteI seen dolphins in Halifax and whales. They are memorizing to watch.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos you took Anni!.
Beautiful shots! I've yet to see a dolphin in the ocean.
ReplyDeletewe saw a few Dolphins today from the boat, but nothing like what we used to see from the Port A ferry . You got amazing pictures of them, I am never quick enough. Looks pretty around your area this time of year.
ReplyDeleteGreat photos, and nice pop of color in the last ones of the flowers!
ReplyDeleteCracking shots of dolphins - I have a number of shots of fins - but I cant seem to get them jumping! Well done!
ReplyDeleteCheers - Stewart M - Melbourne
I love both the dolphins and the flowers. I watched a documentary about dolphins yesterday. They're amazing!
