DINNER, BAYPORT AND PHOTO OPPORTUNITY
I was standing on the pier but I didn't see him there until I turned around.
With my camera in our hand I called out to my friends look over there.
I hoped that he would stay as I slowly walked his way where I sat down.
He did what I had asked, and I thank you God for that, you had him stay.
He was right in front of me as I sat there is such glee because I could.
Then some pictures I did take with the different moves he'd make, I was in awe.
Such a thrill it is to me to become a bird again while watching him.
I could feel him as myself as my thoughts began to melt and I was free.
Such an awesome world this is and how blessed we are to have such liberties.
I watched him boldly standing there and it seemed without a care for quite awhile,
As I pushed the button down he was lifting off the ground then he was gone.
Bayport Pier
The moon was up this evening way before the sun had a chance to set. We left before the sunset. This photo was taken on another evening . Bayport is a favorite spot for a lot of folks, it's almost like a meditation. Perhaps we'll never know why we are drawn to sunset and sunrises but I suspect it's something sort of spiritual. Perhaps we have no choice when spirit puts the thought into our mind to come, relax and watch Mother Natures wonders, after all there is no denying that we live in a most amazing world. Who else but God could have planned everything out so perfectly.
We had ran some errans this afternoon and after they were done knew we wanted to catch up with some friends of ours who had recently moved back from Utah. As chance had it they were heading out for dinner at Bayport Inn, all you can eat fish fry and asked if we wanted to join them. We've made a new rule since we've retired and that is to never turn down an invitation and especially one that involves fish. My Aunt Betty told me long ago that if you turn down too many invitations people will stop asking you and you'll end up sitting home alone. If you don't already have plans then why not spend time with others and I can say I agree.
Well it truly was all you can't eat cause they just kept bringing out more and more fish. Nothing wrong with this fish it was the best I've had in a long, long time. You better bet that we'll be doing that again and maybe we'll get our family to come along the next time. The last basket of fish they brought out we just couldn't finish and I don't think I've ever seen this before at an all you can eat, they brought us take home boxes. Someone just won my business.
When we left Bayport Inn we headed for the pier at Bayport.. The sun was extremely bright but it was breezy and cool and felt absolutely wonderful. Our friends had brought another couple with them and they were fun to be around too.
As we were starting to leave the pier I saw this Crane and you now have the results of this unexpected photo opportunity. There always seems to be some great photo opportunity here but birds are the best.
Such a nice visit, got to do that again soon.
