Seagulls fight over a tender morsel as we watched from a second floor balcony.
One finally gave up, the others kept at it for quite a while!
Sunrise at the Horace Caldwell Pier, Port Aransas, Texas
Early morning light on a laughing gull contemplating its breakfast in a clump of sargasso seaweed. Sargasso weed is plentiful during certain seasons of the year, and is piled high to anchor the dunes.
Daybreak on the beach.
Birds and humans share the beach.
A pilot boat returns after taking a pilot to one of the large ships anchored offshore.
As we walked down the jetty an artist was at work, while folks enjoy a walk. A very nice beach!
The jetty is very busy, these ships were headed out into the Gulf.
Ships stay offshore until time to enter via the jetty. From the beach you can see them lined up.
The shrimp boat Polly Anna returns with the day's catch.
The Polly Anna captain measures out our dinner of fresh shrimp!

On our way to visit the Lydia Ann Lighthouse we passed the Polly Anna docked.
Port Aransas is home to a wide variety of boats.
Sunrise at Horace Caldwell Pier, you can see big ships waiting their turn to come thru the jetty.
One of my favorite sights, a line of pelicans soars gracefully towards the sunrise & the jetty.
