Walk the Plank

Rather... the pier.

This is the view looking towards the South Shore Harbor Marina on Clear Lake.

Just Wait Until Summer

Not a lot going on along the banks of Lake Houston this time of year.

Unless you like the peace and quiet.

Which I do.

Empty Boardwalk

The Kemah Boardwalk is somewhat of a tourist destination in nearby Kemah. Developed by restaurant magnate, Tilman Fertitta, it contains a small amusement park and several eateries within its 42 acres just outside of the Kemah Causeway, seen in the background in today’s photo.

While vacant now… you should see it in the summer.

…or even on a some of the mild winter weekends we have been having lately.

Enlighten Me

Located on the south of Clear Lake this privately owned lighthouse doesn’t serve an official purpose, but does give locals a sense of coastal life. Almost a 100 ft. high the land was built on is now being developed into a gated community for luxury homes.

Act now and you too can live next to a lighthouse.

Ships Ahoy

South of Houston is Clear Lake, a natural estuary that is the perfect gateway into Galveston Bay. Small municipalities line its shores with names like Nassau Bay, Seabrook, El Lago and Kemah, each with several marinas allowing people to start their sailing and/or fishing expedition.

Today’s image is typical of any of those marinas.

Thankful

Today is Thanksgiving Day throughout America and most family celebrations will include turkey in their meals.

Unfortunately... this is the closest thing I have to an image of a turkey. This gull and pelican do seem quite comfortable as they rest on Clear Lake.

Are You Sure It's Almost Winter?

Not from the look of today's photo.

Even though it is noticeably cooler, these palm trees in Clear Lake Park on the city's south side remind me of warmer times.

Master Of Their Domain

Or so it would seem as this pair of mallard ducks sit high above the brood on this pier on Lake Houston.
