Murdochs

This is a little more than a souvenir shop on the Seawall, although you can find lots of fun stuff here to take home as a reminder of your trip to Galveston.  Murdochs has an awesome deck where you can enjoy a drink and the Gulf breeze while sitting in one of their rocking chairs.  It is also a great photo spot for the Ferris Wheel on the Pleasure Pier.

Beachtown

My secret place to launch a long hike on the beach is Beachtown.  You drive out towards East Beach, turn in towards the condos, and find a place to park.  There are beautiful homes, a nice public Boardwalk for beach access, and long stretches of beach in either direction.  Today, I hoofed it in the sun out to East Beach and back.  It was a great walk on the beach.

Paintbrush

Oh my!  This field was so beautiful!  I tiptoed around the edges, making sure not to squash any wildflowers.  When I found a plant that was photo worthy, I dropped to the ground and put my little camera to work, getting grass stains on my knees.  No flowers were harmed during the process.  Then the sun began to fall in behind everything as the breezes started to die down.  Bluebonnets are groovy, but the Indian Paintbrushes in this field were the best. Not to mention the friendly ladybug.  ðŸ™‚

Want Sunsets?

I keep getting out of work after dark.  It is not fun.  At the latest, I should be catching the sunset.  So now, I am using Periscope to catch the rising or setting sun.  Like this person above who was Periscoping while driving in Russia.  Thanks for sharing your awesome sun event with the world!  The most recent Periscope feature adds a live, moving curve that defines the dark part of the world versus the light part of the world on the map view.  If only I could get out of work early enough to see the light side of things…
