I took these pictures Friday afternoon after noticing our occasional visitors decided to drop by in the 100 degree heat. They were partial to both shade and a certain kind of weed that sprouted along with the grass in the newly filled portion of my yard.
After I approached too closely with the camera one deer of the group decided to take a peek back at me before disappearing into the woods.
One final pose before rejoining the herd.
But on the coast you can’t have a proper 4th of July celebration without including the sound in the festivity equation. So Friday night we went floundering. The wind was a bit too stiff at 10:00PM and we didn’t see very much beside a few needle fish.
If the wind is blowing then the surf is up at Ship Island.
I was surprised the crowd on such a good beach day was slim. Perhaps when the permanent facilities come online next year the crowds will improve.
Today we all nurse varying degrees of sunburn.
