" I'm glad that you
thought so much of my photos. We sure loved
being in Rockport to take them! We were in San
Antonio for my oldest daughter's band tour in
the spring. After her tour we all headed for the
coast photographing wildflowers along the way.
When we got to the coast we had a great time out
on the Gulf looking for Whooping Cranes and
playing on the beaches in Aransas County. The
people were nice and the weather
spectacular-what more could you want? Thanks
again for the consideration of these photos!"
All the best,
Todd Gustafson and Family |

Our family enjoys the
Coastal Bend area and visit there to play on
the beach and fish. My husband is an avid
fisherman and I go out with him to
photograph the many birds and scenes in and
around the bay. Our son, daughter and their
families often accompany us to the area
and our four grandsons (ages 2-5) love to
play at the Rockport beach building
sandcastles, splashing in the water and
playing on the playground. They love for
their Papa to help them fish for piggy
perch around the docks and he hopes they
will love fishing as much as he does. I
enjoy watching them and helping them
discover the fun that can be had at the
beach. The usual trip also includes doing
some searching the local shops for unique
gift items and souvenirs.
The photo
of our oldest grandson, Max, was the winner
in the "people" category. I knew all the
time he had a "winning" smile and now that
has been confirmed.
Thank you
for selecting my photo,

Thanks for choosing my
photograph. I’m glad you like it as much as I
do. We go to Rockport about twice a month to
enjoy the beach and all the great places to eat.
There are also so many photo opportunities there
it always makes for an enjoyable trip. My wife
and I belong to the local Harley club and we
like to make the ride to Rockport as often as
possible. I also have a passion for nature
photography and spend a lot of time at Aransas
Wildlife Refuge. We always find something
interesting to photograph there. We’ve met the
nicest people in Rockport!
Thanks again,
Rick Comstock |
