Delay....

I have a one week delay before I hitch up and head north.....but that's fine.....I've been doing some blue bonnet hunting in the local area and was able to bag a few shots..... they are more plentiful and healthier looking than recent years....

This was taken about a mile from my home.....and they have not peaked yet...so the plan is to get the unexpected "hiccup" stuff done, do some photography in the local area and start my adventure 2 April...stay a few days in the Johnson City and Burnet area...then head for Oklahoma....Maybe I'll see some Fellow Casita/Egg Family Members on this Journey....Sure am looking forward to the 1st trip of 2012...and a good "shakedown" for my Canada trip coming up in June(hopefully).....

More to come...Happy Trails......Horst

YEEHAW....Bluebonnets, Eagles, Wildlife Refuge...and more

Its been a while, and I'm more than ready for a trip......My objective is Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge...west of Lawton Oklahoma....The Journey will take me through some of the best bluebonnet photo ops in Texas....Us Route 281....I plan on stopping in the Burnet/Buchanan Dam area for a couple days or more, for some BB photography...there is also some Eagle viewing opportunities in the area...then on to Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge...for a week or so...... 2 or 3 week trip depending on the weather and how many hikes this old body can take.....if anyone has suggestions, places to see, etc., please let me know.....I plan on leaving Monday 26 March...and meander from there...

Again, if anyone has some thoughts I'd be most appreciative...hope to see you on the road...Horst sends
