Creepmeter: 11
Okay, so you non-geology geeks may not know that creepmeters actually exist. They are used to measure horizontal movement along fault lines. Which is important information to have, especially if you live nearby.
I have co-opted the term and use it to place a numerical value on the “skin-crawlingness” of my beach finds (yes, I just made up that word). Disembodied doll heads crank my Creepmeter to 11.
Welcome to the Weekend
Castle at Dawn, Padre Island National Seashore, Corpus Christi, Texas June 2019
Coincidence?
Ah, the waves are mocking me. The same morning that I fished a pair of sunglasses out of the shallow surf, the new ones, that I had ordered the week prior, arrived. Not only was my beachcombed treasure in great shape but my favorite brand, Suncloud. So, I now have a brand new pair as backups. I suppose I owe a thank you to the sea (though the timing leaves a little something to be desired).
Lunar Surface
Wasn’t the full moon last night astounding? It was lovely to watch it rise over the gulf. They said the camera on my new iPhone was good but I had no idea it was this good…
What, don’t believe me? Okay, fine. This is actually a snap of the beach at Mustang Island State Park during low tide.
Hot Sun
The day ended in a fiery burst as the sun set over Copano Bay. And yes, it has been just as hot as it looks down here… While I like my sunset perch I think that kayaker has me beat for best seat!
What If the Shoe Doesn’t Fit?
After all these days wandering along Coastal Bend beaches this was my first time finding toy footwear. It must’ve been today’s theme as I found the leg and the first two non-matching shoes this morning on Mustang Island but picked up the pink one during my sunset walk here on Rockport Beach. Women and their shoe collections!
Personal Adornments
Apparently, the beach is trying to dress me up. I recently picked up these bright baubles: a plastic ring, a flower barrette, a broken bracelet, and a bit of red bling. Weird treasures out there…
Salt Life
Copano Bay Sunset, Texas May 2019
Calm water. Showy sunset. Fishing boat. The salt life doesn’t suck!
