Clam Bayou

Just around the bend from where I am, and certainly a short walk away, over the chain link fence is Clam Bayou. From here you can head out to the gulf, and this is actually a park area. There has been and continues to be a lot of restoration and work going on here. Of interest tonight was the pack of feral dogs that were romping about this little isle. They barked a bit at us, then moved on, actually going around a few times till they stop to rest.







This guy had pretty interesting markings.  Not too many domesticated dogs have this look.  



Sunset over the bayou.  I'm making it a point to do further exploring, and will detail my findings later.


This looks a great deal like an abandoned Bald Eagle nest, or perhaps a hawk.  If you click to enlarge you will see a bunch of crows have taken over.



A volunteer group did some new plantings earlier this spring.



These signs are posted all around Shawshank.


Finally at rest.


Can't take credit for this picture.  Found it at the Clam Bayou website.

Summer Swim

It's Monday and the start of another work week.  Except for me.  I have the week off because the parents of my daycare charges are taking the week off, too. This is one of those wordless posts I love on Mondays so I can put my laziness in full view of loyal readers.  These pics need no words.  Why muddy the waters?   They were taken at the pool at Sinkhole Estates aka Death Valley.  The nice thing about this pool is it is heated in winter.  If one must find positives in one's situation, I suppose that is one.  But, please, no more.

Flashback Friday

Class, Or Lack Thereof The Dwight Vice gravestone in Oquawka, Illinois. I bring this old chestnut out every so often just to remind me that class is classless.  Dwight Vice was killed in his home near Oquawka in 2001.  It was one of those things that can generate crime:  two guys thought Dwight had a lot of money stashed at home because of his pot-selling sideline to supplement his fishing job.   Not really one of those big drug deals gone-bad things.  Marijuana was, according to the trial, about the only stuff Dwight sold.   But these two guys barge into the house and killed Dwight and attempted to kill his 11 year old kid, Darryl, before they took off with what money they could find.   His son, now 23, was stabbed in the back and left for dead.  He survived and is wheelchair bound and has undergone several surgeries to repair his wounds.  He will be paralyzed for life.   None of this is pleasant.  Reading the facts of the murder and attempted murder are most unpleasant
