Here and There and This and That...........

A visitor to Texas can't help but notice the Prickly Pear Cactus that seem to be everywhere.  Many of  them  look ragged and sickly and the same visitor gets the feeling that they are a  delicate plant.   Then we find a sight like this - where the cacti flourish on a tiny strip of land along a busy highway at a concrete bridge.  They must love the nasty runoff?

At a Junction city park a wood carver did a nice job of turning this tall tree stump into a eagle instead of turning it into firewood.  (Like Bill would have done)

On Tuesday morning we hooked up and drove 120 miles south on Highway 377 to Del Rio, Texas which is right down on the Mexican border.  More to come on that tomorrow......
