AS WE CROSS THE SHIP CHANNEL . . .

The Bolivar Lighthouse from the Channel

Never mind the slanted horizon...


Just look at the water droplets - so close.
On beautiful days,everyone wants to see ahead.

This is what they are looking at.

Meanwhile, behind the ferry, the gulls are performing for possible bread crumbs from the passengers.

Their amazing "radar" keeps them from having crashes.

Here the gulls are dancing with their own shadows.

And this guy is just along for the ride!

FULL MOON OVER THE CHANNEL

We seldom travel after dark these days (must be getting a day older...) but on December 2nd on our way home from Galveston, we saw this beautiful sight. The full moon shining on the water with the Galveston ferry landing lights in the background was a sight to capture and remember.
