Padre Island, Texas. 68 miles of beach you can drive on and camp anywhere. It&#8217;s almost empty as well. I am\u00a0\u00a0sharing it with toxic waste, lots of trash, birds, seaweed and nesting Kemp&#8217;s Ridley Sea Turtles. Got to see one come up and lay her eggs yesterday. The trash is really apparent, coming in from boats, Mexico and Texas. I guess Louisiana contributes its share as well. Lots of plastic and weird stuff you don&#8217;t want to touch. But the water is warm and the light is quite nice. Mostly overcast but with some good clouds to photograph. Working a good deal with time exposures. Seems movement is the message. Everything seems to be timeless right now and it seems that to capture this landscape I need a rather large slice of time to record it on film. Figures I&#8217;ve spend so much energy putting together a 4&#215;5 system that I can hand hold, then decide to latch it down to a tripod for long exposures. On to Galveston and the beginning of the trek up the Gulf Coast.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/airstream-on-beach.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"504\" height=\"378\" \/><br \/>\non the beach<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/turtle-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"360\" height=\"270\" \/><br \/>\nKemp&#8217;s Ridley Sea Turtle<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/turtle-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"360\" height=\"270\" \/><br \/>\nEggs in Nest<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/turtle-eggs.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"360\" height=\"270\" \/><br \/>\nTransferring eggs for incubation off site<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Padre Island South Texas Arrived at the beach on June 7th.!!
