We always visit San Jacinto Monument while we're in SE Texas
The Battleship looks good
I had never noticed the blue flag flying on the bow
Brother BJ explained while in port, US ships always fly this flag representing the 50 states.
After a terrific lunch at Monument Inn
We rose Lynchburg Ferry
which only holds 10 vehicles max
We took a day to qualify for conceal handgun permits
before turning attentions back to critters...
Savannah Sparrows are arriving daily on the refuge
Dragonflies perch in obelisk to orient their bodies to minimize sun exposure on sunny days
Farmer discing field on FM 1985 attracted hoards of egrets
and several Caracara to feast on insects and rodents exposed by the blades.
I captured the tiny eyelash moon shortly after sunset
and 3 days later snagged Venus, Jupiter, and Mars in the early morning. Mercury was nearer the horizon, too.
October 17 was Bike around the Bay and the RV pads were the location of a rest stop for more than 1300 riders.
The most unique bike suit of the day
I was fascinated by the bike shoes that made a rhythmic staccato tap dance on the drive
The highest number I saw
And must have a Texas hat
The butterfly garden at the refuge is one of my favorite spots
Turks cap is a butterfly trap
Crawfish are also called Mud bugs, I know why
I don't bird and butter all the time, like to keep my hands busy, too. Crocheted basket from clothesline rope in just a day.
Bear dressed up as a pirate for Halloween.
One of the things we love about Anahuac is the flat horizon both east
and west
I use the sunset to judge the progress of the season.
