We noticed on our walk this morning that some of the mereological instruments at the end of the pier had been removed. Heavy equipment is poised nearby in the parking lot for its imminent demolition. Feelings of melancholy are already surfacing because that pier has been such a large part of our lives. Since my wife's infancy and for over half of my own life. Lots of good vibes in that old structure. It will be quite a sad event for many of us to see it demolished.

New plants have been placed along the new walkway to La Madera, and slowly but surely it is nearing completion. Their biggest challenge currently is building the wall at the mouth of La Boquita Canal to save the trees from falling into the canal. They have the forms mostly in place to pour the concrete, and they've got pumps working hard to keep the ocean water from seeping in through the sand. I expect the new wall will be poured any day now.

I'm enjoying being able to take these shots while I still can.

Playa Lerdo de Tejada is popular with garzas and garcetas.
