What are Sparky and Eldo Up to Today?

Gulf Shores, AL      High:  74     Low:  44

We checked out the boardwalk down by Orange Beach today....Spotted two guys in their gear spear fishing...One of them caught a flounder...
The other guy (not pictured), was a little goofy...He caught a couple of redfish...and then proceeded to tell us that he was basically playing hooky from a video conference call meeting that was supposed to take place that afternoon. He was rambling on about how he stuck a bandaid over his Skype camera so it looked like he was having video trouble! We thought maybe he was a little short on oxygen the way he was rambling on and acting goofy...posing with the open fish mouth in front of his chin, and falling backwards into the water...kinda like a little kid saying, "Watch this!"  We laughed and moved on....

We looked at the shells....

We saw this great blue heron (?) hiding in the oat grasses, waiting and watching for food opportunities....He looked tired and bored.....

It was a great day for walking the boardwalk down at Orange Beach...Weather continues to be outstandingly sunny and delightfully cool, with ocean breezes every day...Too cool to swim, but wonderful for walking around, and that's what we did today!

  1. Maybe stress of the job had succeeded in pushing him over the edge??? Sounds very goofy to me. Have no idea what your bird is but he's a good looking one.
