July 30, 2010 Today I Went To The Beach With My Friends

My friends Linda Bell, Bobbie Warner, Jose Benavides and I decided we wanted to go to the beach for the day... So we did... 

We stayed and watched the tide go all the way down...

This is a Jicaro tree which has a fruit attached to the truck.  

They take the seeds out and dry them and make Horchata...

Next time you are in a Mexican restaurant ask for Horchata... It is really a nice refreshing drink.

These are the shrimp farms close to where we went to the beach.

Reminds me of Stuttgart, Arkansas rice fields...

These are called "garzas" in Spanish.  I have no idea what they are in English... 

But it seems like I should know...

The fishing boats resting until tide goes up again...

A friendly pelican and this is not with a zoom lens.

The sky was gorgeous!!!

This little raccoon was sleeping in a tree beside the beach.  

We got right up under him to take the photo... 

He didn't move...

What a wonderful day!

Thank you Lord for relaxing days.
