Home, with snaps....
Posted: Wed Apr 28, 2010 9:37 pmThis is my first spring in the Texas hill country and my first time camping at Enchanted Rock. To wake up in a gorgeous place like this and not have to hit the road for home before the sun goes down is way at the top of the list of reasons why I love my RV. I've posted about hiking here several times on my blog. Most recently http://coolclearwater.blogspot.com/2010/01/new-year-hike.html .
The wildflowers have been show stoppers every where this season and Enchanted Rock was no different. Even the bluebonnets were still going strong.
When I arrived Monday afternoon, it was too hot to hit the Loop trail or go up on the Summit so I rock hopped along the creek and saw this guy playing in the trees.
As the sun went down I headed up to the Summit.
The rocks bring out my best imagination. Can you see the old Indian chief who kept watch over my campsite?
I've been trying to get a good snap of this lily for a couple weeks. Finally! and with an added bonus of this curious bug!
Over in AZ I hear the saguaro are just starting to bloom. They don't have anything on us here in Texas!
Each evening several deer grazed in the wildflowers behind my camp.
The ear is a sure 'tell' that she has her attention on me.
After a late lunch yesterday, I decided on strawberries and dark chocolate with a glass of wine for dinner as I watched the full moon rise in the East.
Just between us, I didn't want to come back to Austin this afternoon. The campground was pleasantly quiet, very few campers in the middle of the week. If not for a plan to have dinner with DD and DGD tonight, I would have just stayed there a couple more days!
