Available Seating

In the summer, these seats are full of people who’ve come here to see the musical “Texas”, a musical that’s (sort of) based on the history of this part of Texas. (Apparently ALL the early settlers could sing and dance! Amazing!)

Anyway, at the end of December, the place is empty.

Guess which way I like it?

Half Iced

The upwind sides of the vegetation was coated with ice first. It would have been a glittering, magical landscape if the sun had come out…

The Church (back)

On my last photo excursion of the year, I did what I always try to do: go around back. The day was cold and windy, so I didn’t stay back there very long. But I saw what I needed to see.

The Picnic Shelter (culturally appropriated)

Well…so…this is a real thing that I saw. It’s very near the location of the last battle of the Comanche tribe (which is often regarded as the end of the “Indian Wars” in the United States).

I’ll just leave it at that.
