NIGHT MARINA (Aransas Pass, Texas)

Small Art Gallery (Aransas Pass, Texas)

This is a small Art Gallery from the outside at night. After visiting with Amy and Charlie at their home in Ingleside-On-The-Bay, January 1st, 2011 (see one of my recent posts), William and I stopped in Aransas Pass for some take-out food a couple of doors down from the gallery and I snapped a few photos while we were waiting for the food.

I just thought it looked like a pretty cool little place. We haven't visited it yet when it's open, but we intend to. All of the art is done by local artists.

Ingleside-On-The-Bay, Texas - Visiting at Amy's and Charlie's house, Jan.1st,2011

No lunar eclipse pics...doggonit! (but, here's a crescent moon)

These are from about two weeks ago:

We've had wonderful clear, starry nights since we arrived in Texas on December 2nd...until...the night of the lunar eclipse, when it became not only very cloudy, but very foggy too. I had hoped to photograph it, but...oh, well. I watched it live on the NASA website and I've enjoyed viewing the photos of our fellow bloggers...so, thank you fellow bloggers!

Nuevo Progreso, Mexico

This past winter was the first time either one of us had ever been to Texas. Shortly after we arrived, friends suggested that we might also enjoy visiting Mexico. We decided to go on a charter bus, and purchased our tickets at the candy store in Port Aransas about a week ahead of time ($35.00 each round-trip).

January 20, 2010 we hopped on the bus at the IGA parking lot in Port Aransas at some ungodly pre-dawn hour for the long bus ride. I think it took about 4 hours or more. When we arrived in Nuevo Progreso we had about 3 1/2 hours to shop and have lunch.

Here are some photos of that day. There are many more, including photos of the fruit market/garden pottery roadside stand the bus stopped at in Texas on the way back home, if you want to click on my Picasa link at the bottom of this post to see them...best viewed as a full-screen slide-show.

I don't know about you, but, as much as I enjoyed myself that day, some of the photos make me feel sad. They remind me that in this day and age, we should, as fellow human beings, all be getting along with one another much, much better than we are.

I'm considering printing a few of the photos to frame. I would really appreciate it if you would tell me which ones you like best. I'm curious to find out if they are the same ones that I like best. Thank you.

MORE Arts,Beats & Eats - Sunday, September 5, 2010

Here are some more photos from Sunday. Believe it or not, I actually didn't take very many photos (for me). It was just too crowded, and the stuff that I really wanted to see...the ART....I never saw. Oh well, that's ok. Another time, right?
