From the Land of Texas

From the Land of Texas

From the Land of Texas, I am back to posting our journey from the state of Texas during February and March. Lots of new birds yet to come and landscapes of places I have never been to before.

Texas is a very big state and our first stop is Davy Crockett National Forest in Eastern Texas. It is nice to see pine trees again after the long stay along the gulf coast. During our stay here in February the day time temperatures are not to bad, but it did get down below freezing a few times at night.

This map below shows the journey we took across the state of Texas. From Al to Western Texas we traveled 3210 miles. We were in Texas for 2 months during February and March. Our initial plan was to slowly drop down to Big Bend National park, Texas is a long state, so each red dot is a park we stayed at along the way.

I have to say Texas has some beautiful parks and if you get the America the Beautiful National park pass, it gives you 50% off all national parks and Core of Engineer parks. So this park we are at today only cost 10 dollars a night and that includes electricity and water.

Art in the Park at Sunrise

Art in the Park at Sunrise, A lot of parks are featuring artwork at times, such as statues made by local artist. I do like this one, it seems to be reaching to the heavens. I can not create a piece of art such as a statue, I do not posses that talent. But I do enjoying creating art with photography. So many different styles of art all created with imagination and the beauty that we see in our minds eye.
