LENTO

I apologize for sudden drop off in posts. The internet has been very S ....... L..... .. O ...... W, and so have I.

Check back tomorrow for spooky and goolish treats.

Our Turn

Immediately following my post of  threshold, a family showed up at the station saying they had un regalo for us.

 

They were really hoping that we could care for the pelicano at the station.

When we told them we couldn't do anything for it here, that it probably had a broken neck, they seemed worried about dealing with it on their own.  So, we took it down to our beach to let it die.  They were relieved.

A boy joined us on the beach, fascinated by the pelican, and amazed that it was still alive.

 

early this morning, I walked down to the beach. I thought for sure the Pelican would have been swept away by the tide, or dead in it's spot by the log.

I came upon it breathing very slowly, laying in the high tide line with the rising sun.

Two young children brought this injured Ibis to the field station.  Joab cared for it and tried contacting a local vet to clip it's wing.  The vet never showed and the bird was released to let nature take its course.

 

 

Today a student brought a Pelican back from the beach.  She said that it was struggling in the break to breath and seemed like it was choking.  We said that we were unable to do much for it at the station.  She was tormented by the prospect of returning it to it's slow death.

 

It is a strange to cross the threshold of this natural cycle and  physically inject yourself into a realm you may have no place. Or do you?

Dream

baby shrimp

The weekend following Tom's big catch, we motored out to meet Cosme', Pancho and Cosme's kids so that our kids could go shrimpin' too.

Cono and Sebastian are 14 and 10..they are pretty adept at hauling lines and separating fish

 

 

 

We motored away, leaving Colter with the shrimp boat.

On our way to do a little of our own fishing we encountered a shrimp boat of kids 14 and under totally self-sufficient.

 

 

Though Hailey wasn't willing to jump aboard with Cosme' and crew, she wanted her hand at hauling the little(and fairly) impossible net we took to the other side to cast.

 

Though it is pretty clear by the photos, and words may water down...I am impacted by the abilities of these young children, expectations of communities and the ways in which we( interject your own "we")may inhibit the growth with fear.

Great day!!!!

visit

a quick glimpse of a great visit with friends.  we are still recovering from their departure and wish they were still here.
