Majesty

Psalm 93

The LORD reigns, he is robed in majesty;

the LORD is robed in majesty and armed with strength;

indeed, the world is established, firm and secure.

Your throne was established long ago;

you are from all eternity.

The seas have lifted up, LORD,

the seas have lifted up their voice;

the seas have lifted up their pounding waves.

Mightier than the thunder of the great waters,

mightier than the breakers of the sea—

the LORD on high is mighty.

Your statutes, LORD, stand firm;

holiness adorns your house

for endless days.

Birdwatching in Port A

When hubby and I woke early on Sunday morning to watch the sunrise at the beach, we took a walk on the jetty. A  crane flew in and landed near us, swooped into the water and came back with a fish. After several minutes of chewing he was finally able to eat his fish and then he seemed to pose for photos for me for as long as I kept snapping. So, naturally, I obliged!

Sunrise in Port A

This weekend my husband and I went away to the beach for the weekend to relax and to enjoy Sandfest at Port Aransas. We woke early both days in an attempt to watch the sunrise on the beach. Day 1 was VERY windy and cloudy so great pictures were not meant to be:







Day 2 was also cloudy and a bit windy but not as bad as the previous day. Neither day had spectacular colorful skies as I'd hoped but I enjoyed photographing anyway:














Keep checking back. Photos of sandfest coming soon!

The Beach..Yes the Beach...in NOVEMBER!

My brother in law Rick brought his fiancee to Texas for Thanksgiving. Sandy has never been to any ocean and wanted to go to the beach. Instead of shopping on Black Friday, we all got up early, piled in the Suburban and headed to Port A for the day. I was not counting on it being warm enough to swim at all so I was not disappointed when the day turned out cool.


We waded in the waves and walked up and down the beach. Sandy did get more wet than the rest of us when a wave caught her off guard.

We took many family photos with the beach as our background, something I've always wanted to do. Despite the chill in the air, we all had a great time!

The day turned out pretty gray, but I like the photos anyway!

Heather and me. I guess she's officially taller than me now...or maybe the picture is just crooked! Yeah, that's it!

Freddie and Billie (my inlaws)

Billie saw this photo and wondered when she got so small next to her boys! Marty is the oldest (and smallest of all 4 boys) and Rick is the youngest.

Heather walking the beach with her daddy.

Awwww so in love! Rick and Sandy

My hunny and me. Thanks Sandy for snapping this photo!







Of course best of all for some of us was the day ended with a trip to the Crazy Cajun for their famous "Hungry Cajun" dish (basically shrimp boil). Yummy!

Texas Sandfest 2008..........Part 2

Here are more photos I took at Sandfest of all the sculptures. I posted more photos of our day at the beach here. We were all impressed with all of the sculptures and we learned the sculptors come from around the world to participate in the festival.


Be watching on "Wordless Wednesday" of this week for more photos of our day trip to the beach.

More shots of my favorite dragon:

I also posted a photo of this sculpture previously, but it's even cute from the back!

A scene from the Wizard of Oz

My nephew Tony would love this one...so Tony, this one's for you!

A giant sculpture listing all the sponsors of the event.

A lighthouse

and from the other side:

Even some of the amateurs had some great sculptures started:

We even loved all the kites suspended from a perfect blue sky!
