Texas Sand Fest

Every year Port Aransas, Texas is host to the Texas Sand Fest.  I love to see all the different sand sculptures, so we took a nice beach cruise to check it out.  These artists put a lot of time, patience and skill into their sand creations.  It's a talent I do not possess even a hint of. 

This is the 16th year for the event and people come from all over to either participate or just enjoy.  There are several judging categories for children, adults, amateurs and professionals.

Here are a few of my favorites of the day.  Please comment below which ones you like. 

The Beautiful Budweiser Clydesdales

Last weekend we went shoe shopping for my daughter.  We were on our way home when it was decided to hit the McDonalds drive thru.  As we were turning around, we noticed these large red Budweiser semi trucks in the mall parking lot and had to go see what was happening.  It was our lucky day.  The world renowned famous Budweiser Clydesdales were in town just for the weekend.

My daughter and I were so excited as horses are our favorite animal.  You don't realize how massive these animals are until you are right next to one.  I just think they are amazing and beautiful. 

I only had my phone with me, so did the best I could with the pictures.

Surfer Boy!

Surfer Boy

I love watching the surfers around Bob Hall Pier on Padre Island.   I always try to get some action shots.  I really try to catch them when they stand up on the board.  As usual I missed it on this one, but I still liked the shot anyway.
