Along Shoreline/Ocean Drive...Part I

Hurricane Hanna is now in the past, making landfall south of Corpus Christi. We had high winds, lots of rain, and threatened with tornadoes. The worst was, electricity went out & stayed out for a day and a half. Once the power was restored, I was again a happy camper.


As you know if you follow me somewhat, I try to get my morning walk each day [some days are skipped, but I try]. And I sit early in the morning, before I leave the house,trying to figure out where to go for a different scene and little to no people out and about at that hour for virus issues. Recently, I took a leisurely stroll along the downtown area, on Shoreline Blvd. Part Culture such as art centers, entertainment venues, the yacht club, a park like median between the four lanes of traffic. One side going south on Shoreline is the motel/hotel and restaurants, while the seaside is the culture, parks and seawall. As I said in between the traffic lanes, there is a green belt so to speak...here, I walked the other day:

I stopped in the shade for a while to cool down and sit by the fountain at the art center...I like to call it the fountain of youth.

I then walked the seawall back to the car.  It was getting a bit too populated by that time, traffic, joggers, walkers, boaters and city workers working on cleaning streets, mowers, and landscapers.  Time to leave this area.  And head further down the boulevard to where  Shoreline turns into Ocean Drive.  More smaller parks along the sea side and residential area on the dry side....

Part II coming up.
