The Flowers at Gulf Waters


We're leaving Port Aransas tomorrow after a four week stay. It has been beautiful here, with wonderful weather and long walks on the beach. Bella knows the zigzag route through the park to the boardwalk, and will drag you there at any opportunity.
.
With spring break long over the park is back to winter Texans, and those are leaving in twos and threes for their homes in the north. The park is now half or two-thirds filled.
Our friends Joe and Barb have made it back to Wisconsin, and Jake and Candy left three days ago - headed for Dallas and a plane to Cincinnati.

Below are some of the flowers growing here in the RV park.







Hibiscus are wildly popular here.




A flower known as Bottle Brush



Bird of Paradise  -  I'm so spoiled



A Dwarf Hawthorn 



This is a yellow wildflower growing in the dunes next to the beach.


  Prickly Pear  Cactus starting to bloom


I'd always thought they had a yellow blossom.


Pink Oleander is grown as a hedge here.

How could you not love this place?
