...Had some questions for my cardiologist this week, so I scheduled an appointment with the nurse practitioner at that office. I got 'em all answered for my peace of mind, plus a lot more good news. So, I'm happy 'bout it and glad I went. Again, they tell me there is no need to schedule a check up for another year. Of course, that is if nothing goes wrong or something unexpected pops up! It's hot here. 90°F at 4 pm when I'm typing this up on Wednesday for a prescheduled post for Thursday morning. The sky is cloudless, a slight breeze, and quite dry [for the coast]. Behind this all, there is a front that will move in and cool things down a bit...with highs in the mid-80s and lows in the upper 50s. Yay. That temp range is perfect for me. lol Anyway, to get back to my day trip for now, on Sunday morning I drove to Ocean Drive where the South Bay intersects with Oso Bay with a road dividing it all. On the South Bay side, this is what I saw as I drove the mile or so without getting out of the car and then walking some of the distance around the street. The house in the series of four below happens to be one of my favorites along the way. It's on a curve in road, and from the widow's walk level you can see the bay waters. Also, love the gingerbread siding AND the matching gingerbread roofing [and the color scheme]...
...on the other side of the road, I again walked the distance and of course, took photos. This time of year the bird plumage [breeding] dazzles the eyes. Most all change and when I first started birding, I got confused of which bird I was looking at. But hard work, and study of the species, it's now 'old hat'. This is what I saw walking the opposite shore...
...and as usual a collection of more bird photos will be published on my bird blog Saturday afternoon [at noon, Texas time].
