Glittering Sea ..............

...... and a lovely sky at Jamaica Beach (near Galveston Island, Texas) - and you get a couple of bonus birdies ........ if you can find them ......

After yet another deluge/thunderstorm (in Corpus Christi) last night the day dawned bright, humid and warm .... maximum temperature reached 84F (28C) and we had the roof down for the 265 mile drive here .... there are some gorgeous houses along the shoreline but every one built on stilts ....... ready for the high seas and hurricanes!!! It seems there can be a price to pay for living in this area.

I have backblipped the last couple of days so, if you have the time, please take a look - thank you.


My thoughts go out to the families and friends of the seven American civilian workers tragically killed in an horrendous plane crash in Afghanistan today .....
