The Old Man and the Sea

It is our last evening in Gulf Shores, tomorrow we leave for New Orleans.  Jerry fished off the pier in the state park and caught this one...

and more than a few much smaller ones, which he gave to this Blue Heron waiting patiently behind him.

  A fisherman nearby said, "You give him one more of those and he'll be sitting on the bench with you."

  I took a long beach walk.

One night we went to Bellingrath Gardens, one of the top 10 light displays in the U.S., it did not disappoint.  In fact, total amazement was around every corner along the garden paths.

Goodbye, Alabama, we will definitely be back!
