Just Piddling....according to Jerry C. of EggRolling

I suppose another post is due....I decided to travel north somewhat and venture up to Cherokee again, then head northeast on FM 501 to Bend Texas, and while meandering around that area, checked out Colorado Bend State Park...the drive there was interesting and presented itself with some photos of Bluebonnets..to include some Llamas....The park is rather unique....it bends around and parallel with the Colorado River....to get from the main entrance to the CG is about 6 miles...Pretty dense, its isolated and is primarly a hiking, fishing and boating park......pretty rustic..has a dozen or so primative back-in "RV" sites.... and a bunch of tent sites...I just drove around a bit and put it in my memory bank for some future adventure....
I thought I was in England or somewhere in the NW...but Texas?  What a Great place!

From The Park, I headed north a bit, to Bend, Tx...Got on FM 580 and drove to Lampasas, Tx and headed south back to Camp. It was a fun outing...not many photos, but some neat viewing along the way...weather was overcast with periods of heavy drizzle...
A full field of Bluebonnets...I'm smiling

By the time I arrived back at the camp site is was getting close to dinner time...since it was still misting I decided to forego grilling and made a ham sandwich and sides of cole slaw, cowboy beans and some chips.....after that I spent some time doing "this and that" with no real objective in mind....oh well tomorrow is another day....

I'm guessing you could summarize today...as Jerry of EggRolling Blog fame explained in his post.....I was "Just Piddling" today.....Thanks Jerry for the reminder..  :))....Happy Trails to All.....Till next time....Soon....I Hope...Horst sends

    1. I appreciate your taking the time to look at the blog and comment....I have been looking at your Blog for a couple of years and enjoy the posts and of course your Photography....One recent post I applauded was the Moab post concerning the meltdown with ATV/Jeeps....I was happy to see that other folks felt the same way I did....I had commented in one of my posts about the changes in the area...and I would say the entire Southwest...increase in people, in ATV activity and places that where void of crowds a few years ago are now over-run with people that don't seem to have the same level of appreciation for other folk or "Mother Nature"...I saw the same transformation when "jet-ski's" came on the market....let me get off my soap box...again thanks for visiting...I'm going to insure your Blog is on my Favorites Blog List on this page...Keep bringing us those great posts.....Horst sends

      And I keep meaning to tell you that your header photo is the nicest I've ever seen of the Tetons. Just gorgeous. If I had a house I would want a framed print.
