~Out of “bits” and going into an internet black out

2 Comments

We are currently “bit” poor. New cycle starts in two days; oh joy! Just how many times a month can one purchase extra bits?

On Sunday, with lots of bits, we are headed to an area for four night where we won’t have internet service (lots of bits, no service), unless we drive to town and sit in McDonold’s to use their “bits”.

We have done this before and feel so bad about using their bits we just have to purchase an ice cream cone. Yeah, just horrible!

I have many more photos to post and will when I can. Here is an American Coot that we saw on High Island.

In early spring, of this year, we were returning home from our winter trip and we stopped at Balmorhea State Park for a couple of days. This state park is located in Balmorhea, Texas.

This little pond, in the state park, provided the perfect feeding area for these American Coots. The sun was setting, turning the pond’s surface to a beautiful “fire” color.
