Boat Tour Toward the end of the season I did a boat tour that took us out along shore where Ocean Path runs and out to Egg Rock. After spending months walking Ocean Path it was so fun to see it from the water. The seals on Egg Rock were fun to see as well. […]
Pictures from some of the most popular places in Acadia – Ocean Path, Jordan Pond, and the Carriage Roads. Click on the image to go to the slideshow. Ocean Path Ah, Ocean Path – my most favorite place to be and a place I was lucky enough to do roves while I was volunteering at […]
Acadia Misc I had a lot of pictures that I lumped into miscellaneous that show the seasons I experienced at Acadia. Click on the picture to see the slideshow. Fog Oh how I loved foggy days in Acadia. The mountains, woods, and shoreline threaded with fog was absolutely beautiful. So don’t despair if you arrive […]
Some of these trails I did on my days off and some I did while roving during my volunteer work at Acadia. Not as spectacular as my favorites, but everything in Acadia is remarkably beautiful. If you arrive in Acadia on a foggy day don’t worry — while it will restrict your views, Acadia is […]
Let me see if I can remember all the things that went wrong packing up to leave Padre Island National Seashore after volunteering there for three months. Salt air is not kind to anything. Woke up to torrential rain showers. Oh joy. Practically no rain for months and then on the day I want to […]
I had another volunteer location starting October 1 that didn’t work out in a multitude of ways, so I wandered to absolutely wonder Port Aransas from mid October to mid December. Then I literally stumbled on a great volunteer opportunity with Padre Island National Seashore when I attended a training seminar for cold stunned turtles. I […]
I am not a “birder”, but I like shorebirds a lot and wish I could easily identify more of them, so I’m working on it. I can’t tell you how many 1 legged birds I see. Some walks on the beach I get angrier and angrier. They are not resting with 1 leg up […]
This is my electronic diary of what I find or see when walking the beaches at Port Aransas. I try to identify everything so I’m learning something along the way. I will add new things as I find them. A dead green turtle washed in while I was near the jetties. I asked a lady […]
The Aransas ship channel to the Corpus Christi docks is in Port Aransas so I occasionally go down to the jetties to watch for incoming or outgoing ships. I have gotten out on the beach (2 miles from the jetties) to see a ship approaching the jetties only to high tail it down there to […]
Taking the Port Aransas ferry is — right up until you get stuck in a long, long line. I still see cool stuff every time. Spending lots of time on the beach I’ve seen it in a variety of conditions — flooded, wet after a rain, extremely low tide, deserted… There was a sand castle […]
