Flood Warning!!!!!

 To play in the water we no longer have to leave the park!!!!! Lake in 
back yard.
 I ask the girls if they wanted to go out??? They just looked at me and laughed.
Lucy ran to the couch and hasn't gotten down!!!! Her eye balls are filling with water.
Sonny standing in the lake trying to get the girls to go out. 
They say no way Hosea!!!!

Cobalt's For Lunch!!!!

Can't wait for next trip to go back!!!
 We are sitting at this table and this is the view from our table!!!! WOW!!!!
We sat inside, Air was a must at lunch!!

 Still sitting at our table!!! Looking out at the outside dining!!!

Their Patio view. Wonderful food and exceptional views, but take a bucket of money with you!!!

Sunset at Oyster Bay 2013

 We were looking for a good place to see the Shrimp Boats going out and I saw this Boat 
across the water, I have it from the other side but i like this side better.
Just laying there is all her Glory!!!! I'm sure she was a wonderful Shrimper in her day!!!
 We didn't think we would have much of a sunset tonight but I wanted to go and get pictures of the Shrimp Boats as they were going out!!!!
 Oh yes we had a sunset with lots of color!!!
 This was the first Shrimp boat we saw and it came from Aquila's
 She is on her way!!!!
Going for the big haul!!!!
 She has passed in from of us and what a site!!!!

 Still going out. Got to watch her all the way and turn and drop the nets. Be sure to double click on the pictures to see them better.

 In this one you can see the nets starting down and the next one the nets are down. 
We never saw them bring them up, it got too dark on us!!


 


 This was a little Shrimp Boat that was going out just as we were leaving.

Daphne Public Pier



 Still raining as you can see in the distance but there is something else in the picture!!!!
Double click and you can see the Carnival Conquest on the far Mobile shoreline.


 Double click this one and can see it some better!!!!
 If they think I am coming out there to feed them they got another thing coming!!!
They have a nature walk and at the beginning there is a sign be aware of the Alligators
and "S"!!!! And don't feed the Alligators. Like that is going to be a problem!!!! NOT!!

 This was the wildest thing I saw!!!


















Our Day in The Rain!!!

 We drove over to the Fairhope pier and it had let up for a bit so we decided to walk out  so glad we did!!


 Not too many fishing in the rain!!! But the pelican was waiting on what hand outs he could get!!
 He let me walk right up to him!!

 He decided that black thing in front of my face wasn't going to hurt him!!

 Not too many fishing in the rain!!! But the pelican was waiting on what hand outs he could get!!
 He let me walk right up to him!!
We Knew he caught something big, but we none had any idea what he was going to pull in. He got so worn out he passed the rod to someone else to help in pulling it in!!! By the time the third person took over the catch was getting tired and they were able to reel in closer and closer till we saw a big splash!!!


Every one was hollering it is a Red a Big Red!!!!
And sure enough is was a Red Fish. when they got it too the pier they couldn't get him up he was so heavy. They tried putting a noose around him but ( I could have told them that wasn't going to work) to no avail. So while they worked holding him as best as they could someone ran and got a gaff hook. It started raining and I wasn't going to ruin a camera on a fish, but i did get pictures of him!!!
Hope they got him in or he will be truly the Big one that got away!!!! I have confidence they got him in!!!
We left there and went home let the girls out  then went to eat Chinese, then out to Barbers Marina!!!!
Sonny had read George Barber has added a new exhibit!!! He didn't tell me about it or what we were going to see!! You can't imagine how
big this thing is!!!!!

We left Barber's and Ron wanted to at least get to see the Beach, so we drove over the toll bridge to Orange Beach then went to the State park Fishing Bridge to walk down to the beach.


These are the Flags we have seen most of our time down here!!! That Double Red Flag!!!! Never Green. But Yellow or a single Red Flag!!!! All we were allowed to put in was our toes!!!!

   These were shot as we were leaving. It started raining!!!!
