It’s always nice to walk along a path and run into a reptilian friend.  It makes for great photo opportunities and observation. This young, or possibly female gator, was warming in the Texas sun along Elm Lake at Brazos Bend State Park.

This cactus bloom photo was taken by me in New Braunfels, Texas.

Here is a great place to swim and snorkel in the summer. The water is 72 degrees year round, crystal clear, and teaming with underwater wildlife. This is my favorite pool in Texas because it is natural, made of limestone, and varies in depth from inches on one end, to over 25ft deep in another.

To learn more about the pool, hours, fees,  or it’s history follow this link.   http://austintexas.gov/department/barton-springs-pool

Here are a few photos I took at the pool. I hope they inspire you to visit.

I took this photo of a hibernating bat at Longhorn Caverns State Park. I am not sure if it is a brown bat or a pipestrelle bat.

State parks are the best value and some of the most beautiful places a person can visit. Here is another favorite of mine. This park is named Inks Lake State Park in Burnet, Texas.  You can read about it here.  http://www.tpwd.state.tx.us/state-parks/inks-lake

It has some great animal viewing, hiking, mountain biking, kayaking, canoeing, boating, fishing, tubing, photography opportunities, or whatever your mind can imagine.

Here are a few photos I took inside the park. I hope they inspire you to visit.

Thanks for stopping by to check out my work.

Memorial Day

Remembering Troops.

Who are gone while we are free.

Never forgotten.

Memorial-Day

One of the most beautiful places in Texas in my opinion is Colorado Bend State Park in Bend,Texas. You can read about it here. http://www.tpwd.state.tx.us/state-parks/colorado-bend

It has some of the best animal viewing, hiking, mountain biking, kayaking, tubing, photography opportunities, or whatever your mind can imagine.

Here are a few photos I took at Gorman Falls inside the park and I hope they inspire you to visit.

This photo was taken by me at Brackenridge Park in San Antonio, Texas.

This photo was taken near Galveston, Texas, by another photographer, in one of the musicians yards that I have played with in the past. I learned the mother had four eggs, but only two chicks made it. Killdeers are cool because they run fast like roadrunners and they are pretty.

After watching the news tonight and seeing the tragedy in Moore, OK, this haiku came to me.

Tornado

Violent winds blow.

Possessions flying away.

Only life matters.
