After Thanksgiving at the creek

The Friday after Thanksgiving we drove to Sargant, TX to see Marynelle's brother, Murray, and his wife, Sandy. We had a wonderful visit. On Saturday night there is a lighted boat parade on Caney Creek. Everyone decorates their boat houses and piers for the parade. This is a view looking across the creek from their house. You can see their doorway reflected in the water on the lower left hand side.

We went down to their screen house to watch the parade. I went out on the dock to try to get pictures of the boats and they moved by. I was able to get some better than others.

I love the way the lights reflect in the water.

There were big boats and little boats and everything in between.

Lighted palm trees decorated some boats.

I bet that lighting these downriggers was fun.

There were boats filling the creek with lights.

Santa and his reindeer decorated this boat.

I think this was probably the boat with the most lights.

This is the clearest picture I got.

We have watched the North Padre Island boat parade for years but we were always on a deck high above the boats. This was a whole different perspective.
