I took a walk around our RV Park today.  All of these shots were of flowers I saw.  They are beautiful, even though a majority of them were very tiny in size, their beauty is projected thru the zoom in lens.

Today, we set out before the sun burned away the overcast.  The plant below is right across from the Office, and I've been meaning to take a picture.  Anybody know what it is?  It's beautiful.  Goes about 12 feet high.

After we drove thru the Bentson State Park, we decided to go next door to our Campground, to the Retina Development.  Here they are selling houses, with or without attached RV garages.  These are various pictures around the community.

A Foretravel Antique.  A beauty!!

We did not stay in the State Park Campground, but we drove thru and took these pictures.
From the link above:
ISLA BLANCA PARK , on the southern most tip of South Padre Island, is the crown jewel of the system. Over one mile of clean, white beach along the Gulf of Mexico offers abundant water front recreational facilities, and our beachfront facilities make the clear gulf waters accessible to all.
