Sunset...

As the sunset spreads an orange glow across the canal behind White Wings baseball stadium, Eleazar Resendez takes a short break from watching the Harlingen South Hawks game to smoke a cigarette Tuesday evening.

Parade in Progreso

Headed across the border for a few hours Sunday. There was a festival in Progreso that I had no idea about until I crossed. The streets were packed part of the main drag was closed off to vehicles. This Marching bands drum line was good.

St. Patty's Day

St. Patty's day during spring break is filled with the spirit of the Irish...

Waiting...

Thursday my mom went into the hospital for a Mastectomy. I know my mom was scared but she is one tough lady and didn't show any fear, at least not to me. Luckily everything went well and the preliminary test came back negative for any more cancer in her system. We are all thankful for the results. All these photos were shot with my iPhone and edited with the best camera app. Enjoy and go tell your parents you love them!

"Regalo Para Mi..."

As you cross the bridge into Progreso like on most bridges leading from the U.S. into Mexico at times you hear a voice faint at first, but steadly grows louder as you step closer to the Mexican side of the bridge, "Regalo para mi!" Men and Women, mostly women at times a few other times many begging for change from tourists and other walking along the bridge. I think many people that go to places like the Winter Texan magnet that is Progreso tend to ignore these people and seem to forget that a little change (literally) can help these folks that gather under the bridge.

As Winter ends...

As the Season changes so does the dynamic in the Valley. Spring break rapidly approaches and many Winter Texans are heading home. Some to avoid the Spring breakers others say its simply time to go home for a while.
