My alive and thriving afternoon!

Happy #aliveandthriving Thursday afternoon / evening to you, and thank you for your visit!

So once again I needed to get some miles on the bike so I headed out this afternoon to see what is going on in the area today.

First I headed to the Park and the tide was low, but coming in! This is a view South along the Shoreline,

If you enlarge the photo you can see definite Sand Islands!
But the air was pretty clear - you can see the Causeway Bridge and Padre Island,

This Turkey Vulture also made a pass,

And then headed North,

And the Southside of the Fishing Pier, the white spot is a Kingfisher looking for dinner,

I left the Park and rode around some. Over at the "Nerds" (computer repair) I found this Chicken trying to eat the fake flowers,

It is definitely looking puzzled!

And then I rode over to the "Gateway Christian Center". Over there amongst other things the "Yellow Bells" are blooming - also known as Esperanza or Yellow Trumpet Bush,

And the black dot is a Bee,

This is a photo of a branch of flowers,

And after that I rode home! I was warm enough!
And so,
I want to thank you again for your visit and I am Wishing you a Very Blessed, Happy, and Safe Friday!
