Day at Padre but a STOP at Port Isabel First

OK, Viola You said it was a shop You wanted to stop at?
But I see Massage signs all over?

Heron in Flight with reflection on water

Giant Egret with Fish in beak,
Close up of Gator sunning and bottom with Giant Egret
Had landed 2 ft from his tail at first

Love this Heron in grass with the reflection

These were Larger Fish that were safe from the birds but I imagine
were good for the Ali gators

Skimmers, they flew just above the water and would dip down with beak open in the water and you can see the chopping in the water as the fish darted to get out of the way

Red Neck Heron doing his dance to round up fish!

OK Lady, you need a telephoto lens your spooking him!

This May or may not be a Crimson Duck?

Can't help it he looks Naked to Me!

Well at least this one had decency to go to the bushes.


Lantana flower and they really draw the Butterfly's, just wish there were different ones?

Then back to Port Isabel to the grave yard.
pretty old and a lot have another new head stone placed in front of an old one
of some one else.

This one is sad, Small Grave with toy's Placed in front of Teddy Bear Head Stone of Child's Grave
