Stop and Smell the Flowers

A travel blog entry by john.and.becky

Bountiful wildflowers are a high point of being in Texas while they are getting rain. I wish we had been able to stop and take photos of the fields that were totally lavender, pink, yellow or white. But the roads are narrow and the RV is a little wide (and John drives way to fast!). But, I did get him to stop at a wide spot in the road, so I could share some photos with you. There is such a wide variety. They even have quite a ...

... interstate again at the exit we got off. I thought the run would take under 30mins, but it took around 40mins. Got to remember the distance on a map here is longer than it would be in the northeast. While running, I kept hearing things running through the leaves away from me. Eventually, I realized that they were lizards running away from ...
