Several times each travel day, Achilles came up to look around for a few minutes.

Quiet

During our trip through Texas, we stopped for lunch at a picnic area near Sanderson. Using my eyes, the fence was the only evidence of human influence. Using my ears, the occasional car passing by was the only evidence of human influence. Otherwise, it was quiet except for the sound of the wind, and an occasional bird call. It was peaceful and induced contemplation.

It was wonderful.

Meadow of blue

Bluebonnets (Lupinus texensis) carpet a meadow bordering Texas Highway 16 in the Texas Hill Country. Indian blanket (Gaillairdia pulchella) adds a pleasing contrast.

Away and back, and textures

Faye and I were away on holiday to Texas for several weeks which is my way of apologizing to all of you, my kind visitors, for my extended absence. I am home now and will share images from our trip.

Sunlight and shade add even more texture to this tree trunk.

Cheerful

Indian blanket (Gaillairdia pulchella) is such a cheerful flower and always brings a smile.
