A day at the beach

 

Boca Chica Beach.  Right on the border; south of Padre Island.

 

 

The view from the back of the van:

A short drive north ends at the Jetty for the Port of Brownsville channel.  A short drive south ends at the mouth of the Rio Grande, looking across into Mexico.

 

We found the rare bird that has been there for a week or so; the Glaucous Gull.

 

It’s a natural beach on the Gulf of Mexico.  Anything can wash up.  A short walk into the dunes…

 

…reveals things that used to be something, but they’re not anymore.

 

 

 

Now they’re something else.
