Beach Day 2
The truck had started complaining that it needed an oil change so Ed decided that he would get up at 6:15am (yes, the night owl decided this all on his own) so he could be at the local Wal-Mart by 7am in hopes that he wouldn't have to wait long (the lube center opened at 7am). Happily he was second vehicle in.
As Zaph and I were up early we decided to do a beach walk and headed out just after sun rise (7:30am). The beach was pretty empty so Zaph was given his freedom so he could splash through the waves without dragging me.
Galveston Island State Park has two parts too it, the beach side where the day use area and large campground can be found and the bay side which has a small campground, swamp, trails and a variety of birds. Today we hiked one of the trails and looked for birds and found some --- several Osprey, Roseate Spoonbills, Northern Mocking Birds (there everywhere in Texas), Meadow larks, Sparrows and Egrets.
Zaph being the lucky dog that he is got to go for a second beach walk /swim. There's just something so peaceful about walking on the beach.
This little guy was on one of the hiking trails, a reasonable distance from water. He was laying upside down when we found him so we think a bird might have dropped him.
Hmmmm...... this shark doesn't look dangerous.
