shoes getting closer to the water. (looking for shells & other things exposed by the drain)

Got a new camera and still trying to get comfortable with it. Both exciting and frustrating.

Couldn't get close to the dam - wasn't allowed.

Lots of turtles. Seriously - turtles everywhere. No gators.

Going to Lake Charles soon for those. lol

Still wear shorts most days.

Peaceful surroundings. You would have enjoyed it. We didn't see half of the park. Fairly large. The birds were scarce. (except for ducks)

My own yard is still flooded from the rains last week and the week before. Very squishy.

We were checked for bacteria and other things (the standing water). We had a "boil" warning last week. Yikes!

We're OK, they claim. lol
