Pleasure Pier…Galveston Island
A new boardwalk pier built after Hurricane Ike…stunning!
The new carousel is full of brilliant beach colors…
This my friends…is the look of a toddler seeing the ocean for the first time…well in his little memory.
Pure wonderment and joy…
Oh boy…Mommy is letting me touch the wet sand…
When is the last time….you were THIS excited over a simple thing in life?
Thank you for coming back time and time again on this blog. It makes me so happy to see you here.
But for most of all…for the excitement you generously show on our grandson.
Seriously, If I didn’t have some creative outlet for him…I think I would explode…smile☺

Such beautiful crisp photos…and especially ones of that adorable little one. How fun to see the innocence of a child and their pure wonderment. Very nice. 🙂
The pier photos have such beautiful tones and the lines on that second photo make it fascinating. Your little man discovering the ocean makes for priceless photos. Isn’t that fun! And you got to share the experience with him! 🙂
what beautiful macros; have a nice Tuesday
much love…
Laurie, “Little Man” is as adorable as ever. 🙂

Beautiful photos, Laurie! I love the colors, and how the pier seems so magical. I’d love to go there. Little Man is adorable!
I think I need a ride on that carousel 🙂
He looks a lovely little fella, Laurie. Such fun for you.
Perfect captures of Little Man and “the big pond” as our LM called it the first time!! =) blessings ~ tanna
The last time I was in Galveston they were building Pleasure Pier…thanks for sharing, now I know what it looks like. And little man, how cute!!
I can’t believe that whole amusement park is on a pier!! wow!
and yes .. the amazed look when seeing the ocean is wonderful! Wait til he sees that someday. 🙂
Love the expression on your grandson’s face, and the colors on the carousel!
Such fun and vivid photos! 🙂
Oh, man! You had me at “hello” and it only got better! I am just like little man every time I see the ocean!!! 😉
Beautiful images Laurie! The third shot looks so much like the carnival/rides on Santa Monica Pier, your little man looks so happy to be there…
Love your images! Love them! Especially the processing of the first two, whatever you did it is heavenly.
What a beautiful place to explore…especially for the little ones!
I really enjoyed your photos this morning.. Your little guy is so darn cute.
Hugs~
What lovely shots!
The first beach trip is always so memorable! I can remember our daughter being both excited and frightened. The fear quickly dissolved and she loved it since. Little man looks adorably happy!
looks like a fabulous spot!

Wonderful photos. I can get excited on a regular basis by big and small things alike. The sad part is that as we grow up we learn not to show it — to be cool and sophisticated 😉 Fooey to that!
Okay, now you have me laughing at “Fooey to that!”
What a beautiful pier! The rides look so fun and the little man is just precious!!
Love that last photo!
Oh! Those photos are wonderful! and Little man! He is so darn cute with those beautiful blue eyes. . . You have to share!!!!!!!!!!! We love to see him! and your love just shines through. I love your blog and your amazing talent! and your family. After all what are friends for???
Lisa, thank you for all that love you just shared with me…golly.
Such joy. It’s wonderful.
Love all the colours on the carnival ride. That’d make a cool poster. I can hardly believe they can build roller coasters on piers. Wow.
Love the color & outdoor lighting on the photos! And – your lil’ guy always puts a smile on my face. See —> 🙂
“When is the last time….you were THIS excited over a simple thing in life?” – unfortunately as we grow older we naturally lost this ability.
The “Yong man” is adorable.
Oh, the water and beach always brings a smile to your face and a lift to your heart. And, what a smile on that handsome little man’s face. 🙂
Always love to see the Little Man!!!
What a throwback in time seeing that pier and the old fashioned rides! You know I think Little Man is adorable, and that I sneak my grands into my posts all the time 🙂
I love that carousel! Your grand baby is sooo darn cute!! Have a super evening!! Hugz Lisa
Your little man is just so adorable and I know you will treasure these photos of his first visit to the ocean….The color in your shots is just breathe taking; such a beautiful carousal….
So many admirers for one so young 🙂 He is an absolute poppet Laurie .
OMG – so many photos remind me of the Jersey shore …. before Hurricane Sandy. Thanks for the walk down memory lane …… through the eyes of a child, of course!
What a beautiful carousel. Love seeing pics of your darling grandson. 🙂
Wonderful pictures! And another place to visit when we go to Galveston! 🙂
Galveston Island is gorgeous through your lens, Laurie. I really think the City of Commerce ought to pay you for posting these photos. The little guy is just handsome!
Amy, that is so sweet…wouldn’t that be nice if they would♥
wonderful photos of the carousel, every child’s (young and old) dream. In Ireland we call a smaller version ‘the merries’ (Merry go round)!
These pictures are just glorious!! love them all.
Aren’t we fortunate to have inventions that allow us to capture such moments. To have your grandson’s emotions frozen in time can easily return you to your own feelings at that very nanosecond. Well done.
Nolan is so adorable,
Yes becoming a child again is great and also to get a grandchild. It’s so rewarding to get nice shots of children, number 5 & 6 are truly gorgeous.
Thank you so much Dina.
My pleasure. 🙂
Do you have some more from inside the Pleasure Pier? It looks interesting, but abandoned.
NO, we didn’t go inside. It wasn’t opened yet. This town doesn’t get started till the afternoon, very different.
What a pity.
Thanks, Laurie.
What a pleasure to view your beautiful shots!
Wonderful images! They all spell fun! 🙂
Love the expression on his face. We should all be this child like at times.
Awesome images Laurie.
Wonderful photos and the young man seems really enjoy the surroundings – really looks worth visiting – very well captured… 🙂
