Where it's warm(er)...

We just returned from a week in south Texas so I thought I'd share a few images. We were down in the Harlingen area, near Brownsville on the southern-most tip, and made a couple of trips to South Padre Island. It's a great birding area, but we had LOTS of wind so birds were pretty sedate & relatively scarce.

Ring-necked Ducks - Estero Llano Grande

Common Chachalaca (Mexican Pheasant) - Hugh Ramsey Nature Center

I was messing with some of the actions on my iPad Photoshop Express for the next 3 images.

and my favorite for the whole week I think, Sunday afternoon on South Padre Island!

There are warm places left to go! I was in Phoenix this week and it was as cold there as it was here! Thanks for showing us your work, I see why that last shot is your favorite!

I love the warmth of the delivery truck shot. That one is a winner as well as the last one of the three boys.

Nice set, I like the old truck and the 3 boys with the waves.

Boy, I could use a few days of that warm! Very nice series!

Neat trip, Jackie! Its kind of neat to see species we have up here at a different time of the year (Ring-necked duck).

That's a great series and a fantastic last image!

Thanks for the warm photo series. I like the three brothers and the waves too.
