  Galveston: The Strand Part I 7/22/23 Day 3 in Galveston, Texas we spent the day walking the downtown area known as The Strand. We also took a drive through some other areas. I really enjoyed the chance to get close to pelicans and boats. Sadly, nobody wanted to get out of the car so I could actually get good photos. Got a few good pictures of some Hermit Crabs for sale as well. I used the Canon 6D Mark II with the 50mm Lens and the 75-300mm Lens. Enjoy! The Beach Houses were all such bright and vivid colors. Really enjoyed that. Except for the orange/blue Whataburger looking houses. GROSS! The Bishop's Palace Didn't get a good glimpse but across from The Bishop's Palace was Sacred Heart Church This guy just fishing in the bay from his kayak. Just some equipment floating about. These are some of the closest images I have to the pelicans. They were swooping through this area. Sadly we didn't pay the $6 to get out of the car and explore the area. There's also a Battl...

I spotted a fishing boat that would later be hauling in our Catch of the Day for dinner, some hungry birds, and some calm waves. Using my iPhone X. I got some great panoramic images! Enjoy! Happy Photographer. Aggie Cap! 500mm Lens Polaroid Now + My water shoes. Panorama. Vertical Panorama. Panorama. My view. A vertical Panorama This little bird walked right up to me chirping for food.

Anytime I was getting close up photos of birds kids would run down the shore scaring them away. Which actually makes for some cool photos of the birds taking flight! Is that a BBQ Potato Chip? Coming in for a landing. Taking flight! An interesting arch pattern forms as these birds take flight! I found some kids missing goggles in the water. I left them on the shore. We ate here the previous night. Nobody wants to eat at The Poop Deck? Why? It's a Nautical Term guys! It's fine. Right? TX 9427 that we spotted ou...
