Last sunrise from the beach. On to Chalk Bluffs this morning, near Uvalde. Weather forecasts are iffy, but we are watching closely and considering where we will want to be on eclipse day.

"There Goe's The Sun..And I Say"
My son, Wes, lives on Padre Island on the Texas coast. He took this picture of the solar eclipse on Saturday. I couldn’t see it that well from this part of Texas, but as you see, it was perfect viewing at the beach. Gotta love George Harrison.

A couple days ago I went to the Birding and Nature Center on the island I live near, South Padre Island. I'll be making another post about some specific plant life, but this post is about the overall environment and some of the wild birds and sanctuaried alligators here. This very beautiful and unique place consists of about 50 acres of wetlands along the bayside of the island! It's likely that my Coahuiltecan ancestors migrated to this area depending on food availability throughout the seasons, for plant medicine, and for tool and art crafting materials like wetland grasses and reeds, bones, feathers, shells, and seeds
Pic 1 ~ An overall look at a section of the area, including the bay
2 ~ A wide expanse of Black Mangroves, an extremely vital tree to the ecosystem, and a very spiritual as well as medicinal botanical
3 ~ I'm not sure what this colorful dude's name is but I also see them often in my city! If someone could help me ID him, I'd appreciate it! <3
4 ~ White Ibis, preparing to fly off
5 ~ Big Padre!! A rescued 12' 7" gator, and his lovely wife, Lady Laguna!! I love them, relationship goals fr
6 ~ Some kind of blue Heron, though I'm unsure of the exact species. If anyone knows, I'd appreciate if you could help me ID him!
7 ~ Creepy front view of a Great Blue Heron staring at me
8 ~ A gator using a cattail stump as a pillow! 😭 Too cute not to share
