Looks like a lovely, peaceful spot to spend a couple of days. Autumn is such a nice time of year to be outdoors, in our neck of the woods anyway. Not too hot and a refreshing cool tinge in the air.

Oh, how very pretty! Lucky you.

That looks like a lot of fun! Beautiful place.

We camped down on the beach at North Padre in Corpus Christi for one night over Labor Day since that was all the time we had. It was a good ideas until the wind hit. The mesh on our tent acted like a sifter. We had powdery sand all over us. At that point, we were happy it was only a one day camp out. The scenery down there was beautiful. We saw so many stars and the Milky Way after the moon set. The ocean waves glowed with some kind of plankton. It was really neat.

We're thinking about doing another tent camp someplace local within a couple of hours over Thanksgiving.

Awesome, have a fabulous time! I miss camping.

Adella, were you right on the beach? Are campers/motorhomes allowed on that beach? Or is there an RV park near there?

Nice!

Check out this website about camping. North Padre Corpus Christi

We were right on the beach where it meets the dunes. We did the primitive camping although I believe there are regular camp sites some place. We drove about ten miles down the beach on the packed sand. There were RV's. Our pop up camper needs a repair so we didn't bring it. It was easier to tent camp for this trip. I have to get ready for homecoming in a few minutes so I can't post pictures. It was beautiful. We picked a period of wind. If it's not windy and there is no red tide, it should be really nice.

Sheilajoyce, it's clear and warm out in Fort Worth this weekend. 82 at 9 pm. Should get into the low 90s tomorrow.

My son took that last picture with the one of the longer time exposures on his cell phone. Honestly, go when you don't have moonlight. The sky is alive with stars. The ocean glows. It's really cool.

Wow, I love the pictures! North Padre is a nice beach.

I was jealous of not being able to see that constellation or is it the Milky Way? I've see this in nicole's pictures and someone else posted this same stellar wonder.

We don't get that sky in Houston either... too much light pollution. You can see a drilling rig light off the horizon. I'm not sure about which constellation. I only know a few. We had a great view stretching out over an arm of the Milky Way. I woke around 3 am. Orion was rising up over the ocean because we face east there. I didn't know how to take a timed exposure. My son was sleeping.

Your pics are stunning!!!! Thank you, and thank you for the website. Maybe we can make it to that neck of the woods when we take off for our winter jaunt "down south".
