Texas humor ... when we saw this sign & the
cemetery behind it, we were cracking up!
Texas countryside ... the good ol' days gone before us ...

A piece of Texan history ... what happened
behind these walls, were there pioneers that
fought of the Indians, did Davey Crockett
visit ... were they rich, or poor ... did children
romp thru the fields as their parents worked
their fingers to the bone for a living ...

Dawson massacre monument overlooking the valley ...
Monument Hill is hallowed grounds of the remains of the men who perished in the struggle for TX independence.In 1842 Texan forces battled at Salado Creek to
repel Mexican invaders who captured nearby
San Antonio.
The valley is breathtakingly beautiful, so peaceful ...
You can hear the gentle rush of the water from
afar ...
IF you look closely to the middle left side of the tree you
will see a black image ... it is a huge bird that made funny
noises ...
Wandering thru the countryside, the clouds
were awesome ...
A charming little town ...
Time is ticking away ...
What a lovely building & monument with flags surrounding the entire premises.
