June 7, 2008 – Riberas del Pilar is in between San Antonio Tlayacapan and Chapala, and between Lake Chapala and the two-lane lakeside highway or carretera. It’s a rather suburban type area, in that it has no central plaza, nor is it densely built up. The homes there are often on larger pieces of land than you’ll find elsewhere. I know quite a few people who live there, and the church I go to sometimes — St. Andrew’s Anglican — is located there. So we get over that way.

One Sunday recently, we were there together and Kelly went for a walk while I was at church. First, here are a couple of walls he photographed. He was attracted to the texture of the red one. It had been plastered over something, rocks maybe, but he wasn’t sure what. Notice the mural on the second one.

He wandered down by the lake and got these photos. Herons or egrets? Kelly thinks egrets but isn’t sure. If you know, please comment. Whatever they are, these two photos below  are now up in our kitchen rotating art gallery.

  Size is difficult to determine by the photograph, but I am willing to bet it is a Great Egret.
