Very nice – one of the better abstract pieces.

I took a vacation to Mustang Island/Aransas Pass in 2004. Other than making the mistake of trying to take the ferry on July 4, I really enjoyed it. Might retire there, if I could ever afford it. Got my concrete shotgun house on stilts designed in my head already.

I LOVE it! A very fun and beautiful piece. Has anyone tried to nest in it yet?

the ferry to port A is always a problem Fri threw Monday,plus the housing price went out of site.
Rockport never had a housing crash but there are still reasonable canal front housing.
iam 8’ in the air, Ike pushed in a 5’ surge after landfall so we were an island for a few days.(no wind)
thanks for the nice comments.

the spiders have found a nice home in the toothpicks.
its a pain to clean as you can imagine.

At first, I couldn’t figure out why someone took a picture of a cactus. Very cool!
