Thanks for the welcome, didn't mean to irritate you..
Actually I'm from the north of Germany, and "by the sea" refers either to the North Sea or the Baltic Sea, whatever you like. Here are some more pics I shoot.

MMMM...Mosin. Which reminds me, I haven't taken any of mine out recently. Since all my 7.62X54R is steel jacket/steel core, I can't shoot it during the summer because of wildfire danger (a big fire by Yosemite this summer was started that way). In the summer I use my 8mms (M48 and VZ24) with Yugo ammo, and in the winter I use my Mosins (91/30, M44, M39).
Hey gang, I recently made the trek from TN to TX for the birth of my sister's first baby, and while we were in the area I was able to find some time to visit the Abilene, TX State Park and take some photos. Hope you guys enjoy it!
First up, I would like to introduce you to Mr. Nash. My normal hiking buddy (Shiloh the beagle) got put up in the kennel for this trip. I figured my dog, plus their dog, plus all the people coming and going and the new baby was more trouble that I wanted to be blamed for! Nash is 105 pounds and still growing, just a big sweetheart that hasn't figured out just how big he is yet. Here he is next to my brother-in-law. The head on this dog is just massive. Nash was a welcome partner on our little adventure.
Just a disclaimer, no knife pron here. The other members of the group already thought I was weird enough for bringing 2 knives (a cheap folder and my wave) in addition to a flashlight and lighter on a day trip. Fortunately I didn't have to show them why that was a good idea.
The trail head where we started our little trip.
Cool looking tree.
We don't get these in TN too often, but they were all over the place here. What really amazed me is that some of them had been nibbled on by the deer. I guess I never really considered that something might actually munch on these spiky things.
We did venture off the trail in some places, and actually found this on a small game trail about 50 yards off the main trail. Other than it being a femur (right?) I'm not too sure what it is. I should have taken a picture of my hand or something next to it to give some perspective, but it was about 2 feet long.
There was a little debate about this particular leaf. The wife thought it looked like Mickey Mouse. I'll let you decide what the other option was!
There were these little bridges all over the place.
This is Mr. Nash asking politely to please be let into the water to play. His request was denied.
There were all kinds of cool flowers around.
Another view of the 'Buffalo Waller' that the dog was whining to get into. Personally I thought it would be a killer duck hunting pond if it was on private lands...
I'll continue some more pics in the next post here... hope you guys enjoy them, if not, too bad, I'm posting more anyway! (meant to be a joke!)

This little guy marked the end of the trail for us. My wife does not do snakes, and could not be coaxed to walk past this one, despite it being about 4 feet off the side of the trail, and about 60* where we were. It was cool enough and he looked sluggish enough that he would probably be doing good just to find somewhere to hole up for the night before he got eaten! But oh well, SWMBO won out in the end. In her defense, it was about a 4 foot long snake, so I imagine that anyone with a snake phobia would have been terrified pretty solidly.
Another view of the same snake...
We went from the hiking trail to go check out a few other parts of the park. Ever seen a Yurt before? Me neither. It had a fridge, microwave, AC, couch, beds, etc inside it. You could rent it for sleeping accommodations. The wife had seen em on a travel show and was pretty excited to see one in person.
Not too sure what this was, and it was locked up, but best I could tell it is a fire watch tower. About 4-5 stories in height I would guess. Anyone have any ideas?
Deer tracks and deer were all over the place here. Lack of hunting pressure and a ton of food will do that I guess.
I always think these signs are pretty cool, so I'm including it (hey, it's my post, right? haha)
The other half
This was put in by the builders as well.
Concession stand at the pool.
Several of the campgrounds had these outdoor seats by them. There is also a large fire pit just to the left out of frame.
Shoot, sorry, going to one last post for the final images... sorry!!!
