The main point of this post is a beautiful sunset over Inks lake, but before the sun set there was some really nice golden light. I stood by the lake taking photos of a bunch of ducks that refused to swim in the right direction and then a big heron swooped in an landed on… Read More Fiery Sky Over Inks Lake
You may remember from my last post that I went to Pedernales Falls State Park with my daughter. Well, I went back Saturday alone as I wanted to do a lot of hiking, including going up to the river overlook to see what it looked like around sunset. Pedernales Falls State Park is west of… Read More Pedernales Falls State Park
I have long wanted to go kayaking around one of the bays between the barrier islands and the Texas mainland. I have thought about planning a trip down to the coast for this multiple times and last weekend I just did it. I went to Padre Island National Seashore which is just south of Corpus… Read More Camping and Kayaking on Padre Island
I went for a nice hike on a cool Sunday afternoon at Balcones Canyonlands National Wildlife Refuge – Warbler Vista. I hung around an overlook to watch the sunset and then hiked back to my car in the dark. Not much else to say. Hope you enjoy the photos.

There is a pasture along a highway that I pass sometimes. This pasture is full of wildflowers right now and I have stopped to photograph it more than once, but I don’t think I have gotten it right. Below is the pasture with the sun setting in the distance. An hour before sunset, there were… Read More Wildflower Pasture
Saturday it rained almost all day, so I thought there might be a lot more water in the river where I hike occasionally. So Sunday afternoon, it was sunny and I went down for a hike. The trail was a little muddy but it wasn’t too bad. Just as I started my hiking I came… Read More Sunset Hike at the River
I did a little hiking at the Warbler Vista area of Balcones Canyonlands National Wildlife Refuge. I don’t usually come to this area as it doesn’t have as many trails as the Doeskin Ranch area, but it does have some nice overlooks. It was a cloudy day, but I hung around until after sunset anyway… Read More Sunset at Warbler Vista
