Guadalupe Mountains

Still in Texas!
Picture
This road trip is moving very slowly through Texas.  But at least I'm learning some history!

Picture
Can you see me, standing upon this piece of historical wall?  It was once part of the first transcontinental  mail route! I'm talking, before the Civil War...the stage coach stopped here for water along the way from San Francisco to St. Louis!  This is amazing to me!

But suddenly, Beth has me back in the flowers!

Picture

This is a very strange looking plant.  I noticed  a sign nearby that read,
APACHE  PLUME!


Would you believe this flower is part of the rose family?

I'm sort of okay with posing in flowers like these.  The hairy parts remind me of  Dr. Suess characters.
Picture

I also had a pretty good view of the  Guadalupe Mountains from my spot in the flowers!! 

But why did Beth stop with the flowers?  She could have taken me to the top of the mountains. 

I could have claimed I had been to the highest point in Texas!

Davis Mountain State Park

I could have helped.
Picture
Here I am, sitting in a burnt tree in Davis Mountain State Park.

A year ago I was supposed to come stay here, (riding in Beth's camera case) and the trip was cancelled due to wildfires.

We should have come anyway.  I'm sure there is something I could have done to help.

It makes me sad.
Picture
 

I just keep looking out on all this burnt land.
Picture
It's not just the trees...

Picture
This building was burnt, too.

Picture
Beth told me to stop moping...

Picture
She stuck me in some wild flowers and reminded me that there was new growth.  Come on Beth.  That was just an excuse to pose me in flowers again!

Southwest Texas

Off on another road trip!
Picture


Headed to Sedona, but we've only made it to West Texas. 

Here I am, pondering how near yet so far I am from Mexico! 

A week ago I celebrated Cinco de Mayo.  Now I'm just a few miles from the border.
 

Big Bend National Park is beautiful...
Picture
But where are the margaritas?

Picture
Maybe if I keep climbing up high and staring towards Mexico, Beth will take me for a visit!

Picture
Oh well.  The view is nice.  I'll stop complaining.

    Little Bear

    My mom gave me this tiny bear over 25 years ago... because  I like small things. 

    A few years ago, I used
    him in an assignment for a photo club and I got hooked.  This little guy is a great excuse to play.  He fits in my camera bag, so he's always at the ready for a photo shoot.  He's been to a lot of places and he's had a few close calls, with fire, rivers, champagne, wild animals... the scariest of all was when he was lost in New York and returned to me weeks later.  

    I started the blog for Little Bear in 2012, but he got tired of my blogging style, very quickly. He has been writing his own blog for years.
