Freeport, Texas
has been designated an official Texas
Main Street City. The Texas Main Street Program, part of the
Texas
Historical Commission's Community
Heritage Development Division, helps Texas cities revitalize their
historic downtowns and neighborhood commercial districts by utilizing
preservation and economic development strategies.
Historic downtown Freeport is being lovingly restored. Located between the banks of the Brazos river and the shores of the Gulf, this newly discovered jewel is rebuilding the splendor of it's past. After a day of offshore fishing, beach combing, bird watching, or a host of water sports, come visit the specialty shops including art galleries, nautical supplies, antiques and crafts. Stop by one of the fine restaurants offering everything from award-winning seafood, authentic Mexican food, or home barbecue. Freeport offers many attractive accommodations in the city, with hotels, motels, condominiums, and bed and breakfasts. The city has several public boat ramps for the convenience of it's visitors as well as charter and party boats services. So come on down and enjoy a day or two, you may even be tempted to stay a while. Freeport also has a large picturesque shrimp fishing fleet which helps supports the local economy with jobs as well as much needed tax revenue for the city and two of only a few of the nations net manufacturing businesses are located in Freeport. |

You can also
spot many shore birds feeding in the vast marsh areas that line the
roads, on the way to the coast. I almost always see an Osprey or two
near the Freeport bridge.
During the annual Christmas bird count Birders from across the nation gather at Freeport, and the surrounding area to identify the many species that are present, and include them to their lifetime bird count. |
Truly an outstanding birding location,
Freeport ranks as one of the top areas in the nation for number of species
counted.
Many parks have been set aside for migrating tropical birds, such as the Neo-tropical Bird Sanctuary in Quintana, adjacent to Quintana Beach County Park. |

| Video of Texas Rainbow Brazoria County, Texas
Texas Explorer Productions This rainbow formed late afternoon on July 25, 2006, less than a mile from my home, in Brazoria County. Earlier in the day my new tripod ( Bogen 3021b ) and video head ( Bogen 501 ) arrived, so I was looking forward to trying them out by shooting the sunset, near the canal that's close to my home. To my surprise this rainbow formed directly over the canal, it lasted for a about 20 minutes and kept getting better as time went by, until it was finally swept up in the approaching storm clouds.
