Something going on at Padre

At the End of Hwy 100 on South Padre
You can run the Beach further North but you can not get there from here unless you walk.

But Wait they do not want you to drive on the Dunes!
Yet they are marking lots off now for building on. The starting price on signs, only $49,000 for a sand lot. Right at the end, off the hwy that is where the Electric poles stop. What about water and sewers?
The beach and dunes were public play area on this side, at this time you are still able to drive on the Beach by getting in at 5 entry areas but later will they say the beach behind the homes are private? Two years ago they had to tear a New Hotel building they were just putting up for salvage, due to starting to lean. Soft footing. Your going to sink Thousands or Millions into a Dune Home??

Your Taking My Last Cheeto!

It looks like Viola is up-set with Joanie,

getting the last Cheetos, but they were having so much fun.

"The Birds are coming", The Birds are coming.

Yes they are here and on your head!

This is what you call real "Bird Head". lol Lucky no one got crapped on.
Viola tried to get one to land on Joanie's head at the same time, but every time she would put food on Joanie the one on her head would go for it.

Time for me to get in a picture with the Gulf of Mexico in the back ground.

Steve in water looking for shells and cooling off.

Viola and Joanie at the Convention Center.

Hard to take picture fast moving bird and Viola did a good job, while I was gone for a break to the restrooms.

Always take a picture when a good size Alligator is near.

If some man had not pointed this Least Bittern

on his spotting scope, we would have walked right on by.(in center of picture)
