A Great Day Fishing

The day was cool and clear and the Fishing Men caught lots of Black Drum! Toni the Tiger was patiently waiting for the fish bites the men tossed every time they clean fish! Doodles was there too!

The Laguna Madre is a bountiful place to toss lures and bait but these men dont do bait!

Sunrise Beach Deer

We went to Kingsland, Texas and near there we drove through

 a little community called Sunrise Beach! The whitetail deer are so unafraid they are a nuisance!
The small deer above were snooping around in a garage!

 This buck stuck his tongue out in utter disrespect of the four of us in the car!

 This next two were so pretty with their racks I shot them in a painless way!

 This last character was so bored he yawned at us!

Ranch Hand Breakfast at King Ranch Texas

Every year the King Ranch in Kingsville Texas hosts the Ranch Hand Breakfast !I always cheer for the calves getting roped since the cowboys have lots of cheering fans! This gets me lots of stares and I love the attention!

 The gentleman was telling great stories and poems about ranch life!

 This gentleman fiddler was one member of the Roughrider 3 piece band!

 Here's the guitar man!

 These young cowboys were too cute!

My friend Lynda was learning about playing the wash tub!

Fed Deer and Cardinals

These pictures were possible because a responsible land owner provided water and corn. I was so happy to see them! We sure need rain in Corpus Christi, Texas!

The Eyes Have It!

What kind of eyes are these! If you guess right I'll be so tickled! See my reflection in two!

HEROES ON THE WATER

 

June the 7th, Elaine and Don Graves arrived at our Laguna Shore Village RV Park to participate in the Heroes on the Water Event! The Soldiers with various challenges were taken out on the Laguna Madre in kayaks. The last picture shows one man with a halo on his ankle. One of the men won Biggest Redfish in a competition called Casting for a Cause! There was a crawfish boil and banquet! Note Elaine's getting ready to eat a mud-bug. Donations went to M.S and Heroes on the Water. We Donated a night's RV site and a storage unit for the kayaks. They said they'll be back! Hope so!

 The photoprincess got a new 35mm lens for the Nikons d5100 and d3100. I love the lens and today I went out to Padre Island by Bob Hall Pier. The sunrise was gorgeous and so peaceful! The only stress was in trying to be ready as it unfolded. I used my tripod and played with my remote control some too. Thank You Jehovah for such a beautiful planet you made man on!

It was hard to see the condition of the sand I was driving into but I made it ok. I tried using a very high iso but I liked the results better with the iso lower and the slower shutter on the tripod. The lens opens up to 1.8 and that helps but I wanted to use f5 for best clarity. Oh well these are the results. I can only approximate the beauty of being there. I hope you enjoy. Try to get out at sunrise and see this beautiful planet come alive!
