Where are we Wednesday

Wednesday finds us in...
It's not THE Colorado river. It's a Colorado river that begins southeast of Lubbock, TX and flows through Texas hill country, down to Matagorda Bay on the Gulf of Mexico. I think I read that it was around 860 miles long.
Hang on, let me run down and snap a pic from the shore....
We walked down here the other day and frightened a turkey vulture that was feasting on a couple of fish lying on the shore.
Here are a few pics from around the park.
Texas Hill Country. Beautiful.

Garden Tuesday

It's the beginning of wildflower season here in Texas.
This was taken along the highway close to where we're staying. I've been trying for days to catch a really clear picture of the flowers but it's hard to slow down on the highway! I've decided to stop trying so hard and just enjoy seeing it!

These little cuties are everywhere in the grass around us. Their simplicity charms me somehow.
Also in my garden this morning...
Check out more garden photos over at Sidewalk Shoes, or better yet, link up with your photos!

All God's Creatures Sunday

Cows with Hats
They were all wearing them except the one to the left.
Any guesses as to why?


For lunch today, we went to Mikeskas Famous BBQ. After all, we are in Texas, the capitol of BBQ. Inside was full of stuffed animals...literally, a hundred of them.

I don't know if this woman realized what we saw when we looked in her direction. :)
