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.
Enchanted Rock is an outdoor attraction in central Texas with a state park built around it.

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
It was Sunday afternoon and I went for walk and I looked at the clouds as I often do and eventually got the notion that there could be a fantastic sunset. So, I turned around and headed back home to grab my camera backpack and head to the river. I wanted to get to the… Read More Clouds and Stone
It’s a late Thursday afternoon in April. With the limits on gathering and socializing mostly lifted, the wildlife refuge is once again mostly abandoned even though the wildflowers are screaming for attention. Hearing their call from across the county, I headed out with my camera. The first two photos below are all about the Indian… Read More It’s All About the Wildflowers
