. . . . . . . . She Sends Me. Well, it's actually Oyster Creek but she (my wife) did send me. This gorgeous, warm, sunny afternoon, Connie and I hopped in the roadster - top down and Bose Surround blasting - to do a bit of (vigorous) cruising on a perfect day. I took my camera thinking I might photograph the car somewhere, but I got caught up in driving it and forgot about making yet another picture of it. However, on the way home, Connie wanted to show me a little park in Richwood (a small community contiguous with Lake Jackson where we live) that abuts Oyster Creek - a sizable waterway that meanders all over Brazoria County (including a section that's adjacent to the street where we live - 3 or 4 miles from this little park). I took a few photos in this quiet, deserted place and decided to post a few here.

First look at the creek - note the lines (ropes) hanging from the tree limbs; I can only assume they are remnants of ropes folks used last summer to swing over and drop into the creek:

Foolishly shooting into the sun; who cares: it's just a few electrons - not expensive inorganic and organic chemicals formulated into a light-sensing film (who would ever think of doing something silly like that, anyway):

Great shots of a tranquil and scenic area, wonder what the fishing is like.

some of the best places are close to home buddy, I think you've found one. Looks like the drought is over, or does that river flow into the ocean. Lovely area and photos, reminds me of so many Texas rivers we have visited..

Texas has rivers? Surely you jest Jer. I think you somehow drove to Louisiana.

Thanks much, EM. There were numerous lines and lures (?) stuck in the trees - I presume that these were left from poorly aimed fly fishermen - but I know nothing about fishing.

Thanks, buddy. The creek does look pretty full, but there may be some tidal and wind effects contributing. We've not had much rain this winter despite endless gloomy skies and chilly air. The local paper reported last week that we've moved back into drought (Stage I ).

Now Susan, would I kid you?
