Here’s some pictures from around the RV park and the town. Lots of wildflowers, brightly coloured houses and of course the ocean and some fish. Check out the BLOG!

Love this fish mural, it’s one of the first things you see when you drive into town.

Our home

20190313_174237

Our site is in the new section so it’s wide open, nothing fancy but it’s full hookup, includes WIFI and cable and close to everything.

There’s a big pond, full of monster catfish and….

20190328_115643

Lots of loud, honking ducks. Every morning there’s an egg or two laying around, baby ducks should be coming soon!

The owners put on a number of get togethers during Feb and March while most of the winter Texans are here. They supply the main dish, we all bring the rest. Great way to socialize and get to know other RVers.

Nellie, the park dog

Nice little poolside cabana

And a nice little pool, just waiting for the weather to warm up to enjoy it.

I think my house would be this turquoise if I lived here.

Rainbow houses

“The love shack” is a little old place, where we can get together…..channeling the B52s :-)

Big blue house on the bay

A crabby turquoise house

20190313_170616

I would have expected all the houses on Flamingo lane to be pink!

A terrific Texas turquoise trailer

20190317_154319

One of the bigger houses on the canal in a gated community.

20190317_154328

Lots of big places and nice boats

20190305_120421

This pic doesn’t do this place and the yacht justice, gorgeous!

20190312_160916

This Texas decorated fish can be found all around town.

20190303_153044-01-01

These 2 cows cracked me up, not sure if they were curious or afraid of me??

There are some elaborate gates on some of the ritzy waterfront communities

20190305_115124

So far all the money in the new development has gone into the elaborate fencing. Love the swordfish detail.

20190309_150133

Oh pelicans…love them but man they’re a pest when they know you’ve got fish and these two stalked us, it’s kinda creepy.

20190309_150057

Watch your butt Dave….not long after I took this pic they flew off, one of them went right into Dave’s line and got tangled up. We had to pull it up by the beak (not an easy task) and untangle it. Phew! It wasn’t harmed and flew off.

20190316_154603

As soon as anyone cleans fish, they flock in!

I love how the HDR edits I made on this pic make it look more like a painting!

20190317_154105-01

This one too, nice of the heron to pose for me!

20190328_161715

Fishing on a dock in the barge canal, lots of interesting boat traffic. This is just a little barge...

20190220_120016

One of the bigger ones.

20190328_161648

We fish here a lot and most days we also get to watch dolphins in addition to the boats.

20190328_161738

Lots of shrimp boats around

20190306_165253

Fish were biting like crazy this day….This is Dave’s 2fer! Neither were big enough to keep though.

20190306_173908

My 2fer, both black drums and the biggest one (18”) was big enough to keep. We got two more that day so they made for a good meal!

20190327_094439

Dave hooked this blue crab one day and while yes good eating, we set him free once he was untangled. Man do you have to be careful not to get pinched!

20190326_172835

My 20” red fish….really good eating!

20190313_165159

Thistles everywhere and up close doesn’t this look like some kind of sea anemone?

20190311_171002

Cape honeysuckle plus bonus lizard

20190313_172550

Tons of Indian paintbrushes in town…so pretty

20190317_164513

Bluebonnets, not as plentiful here, just a few patches here and there. Have to go to hill country to see fields and fields of them

20190327_083738

Hibiscus flowers are also spring flowers here.

20190320_115623

I love these, they’re called bottle brush trees….appropriate name.

20190322_120227

View of the fishing pier and beach, tide is way out!

20190218_135601

Walking out to the end.

Looking back on shore

20190317_160646

We fish here alot but have caught nothing! Need the water to warm up.

20190222_145416

lots of foggy, misty days like this

20190321_123211

Out for a ride, enjoying all the patches of wild flowers that everyone lets grow vs. mowing them down.

20190224_134827

Invited by the owners to take a boat ride over to Matagorda Island. Only accessible by boat.

20190224_150216

A lucky catch

20190224_151755

Miles and miles of sand to explore and find stuff…..my lucky catch was this kayak paddle
