The Seawall Walk...

Around here, in this area of Texas, when it rains heavily for a day or two, by the end of a week's time, the mosquitoes [Texas sized] come out of the woodwork so to speak. Bud and I mowed the front lawn and edged it, and I was literally fighting those hungry blood suckers from my face [nose, mouth and eyes!]. I had to stop and get in the car trunk where my stash of repellent is. Sprayed myself liberally and then continued some yard work. Next morning, I was wondering if I should even go outdoors at dawn to walk and get eaten alive after an early morning rain shower, or stay home and be bored. I opted to take the 'genius' trek and head for the seawall and marina. Mosquitoes don't like salt water and this area IS nothing but salt water bays. I was safe walking. Now, the seawall has a lot to offer: shrimp boats, the marina, the skyscrapers [skyscrapers - consider them very short because of the dreadful hurricanes hitting]...in other words not too far up scraping the sky like New York City. lol Then, there is the culture center, the art center, museums, fountains, outdoor sculptures and median parks [grassy knolls and palm trees lining the Blvd.] It was a decent morning. Warm, a shade humid, but the sea breeze kept the sultry temps tolerable. I didn't take my heavy zoom lens camera and was only armed with my cellphone. [The photo at the beginning of the paragraph shows the direction I took on this particular morning, and the Corpus Christi Bay is midway, down the street, between the tree-lined avenue.]

Along the entire 3 mile seawall, there are miradors that line your way. On really hot days, they are a good respite from the daytime heat with a slight breeze shifting the air as you sit on the marble seating and view the scenery. At night, the moonlit view of the bay and the sound of nightlife is refreshing. The silence during the winter mornings before the bustle of daytime users is pretty awesome too. Mirador views:
