My Alive and Thriving Tuesday!

Hello friends!
Happy #aliveandthriving Wednesday afternoon to you, and thank you for your visit!
✨🙋🏻‍♀️✨

So, yesterday when I was "out and about" I took a few photos that I would like to share with you today!

The day started early and walking around I saw these Dandelions that had gone to seed. I was pretty sure that a photo of them would look good so I went ahead and took this one,

After that it was awhile before I went back out - "heat and Sun", but in the late afternoon I did go back out!

Over at the Park I caught this Blackbird and Stilt playing around in the sludge from the Gulf.
Here the Stilt is looking for small fish,

And now the Blackbird well!

There was a Heron out in this Sandbar,

And then I noticed the "Red Tide",

I guess the water is stagnating in the Gulf!

After that I left the Park and a few blocks away I saw these Seagulls attacking a cup!

I turned the corner and saw some Texas Wildflowers growing. I have been trying to get a good photo of this because most of the streets where I live at look like this - lined with Wildflowers,

I am sure you get the idea, though it is much prettier in real life!
I also took some photos of the Firewheels as they are pretty easy to single out! Here is a bunch of them,

And a single that I thought came out nice!

From there I rode down to the lower Breeding Pond and it looks like it's drying up again,

And from there I rode back up the Channel to Dockside. Over there the Pink Oleander was blooming,

A little closer,

And the Hibiscus! This is two views from the same flower. The rest are about to bloom any day - this one was early!

And with that, I want to thank you again for your visit and I am Wishing you a Very Blessed, Happy, and Safe Thursday!
