| Clump of tiny blue flowers |
The last few days I have neglected to post in the blog as we have been driving over this area of Texas showing our guest of honor Christian the lay of the land. East we show the fields of corn and cotton stretching through the mostly flat topography of the Blackland Prarie ecoculture.

We traveled west through the genuine hill country to Llano and walked the Llano River shores hoping to spot snakes and arrow heads but mostly seeing lizards and birds. One thing I've noticed is that I find the clumps of tall grass along the river shores so incredibly graceful in appearance, but when I photograph them, the pictures never quite capture the vibrant life I see in nature.

Saturday Christian and I kayaked for two hours on Lake Austin where we put in just below the Lake Travis dam and paddling down lake for quite a distance. We fought a stiff breeze on the way down but enjoyed a nicer paddle back with the wind at our back.

Easter Sunday, after an enjoyable church service we drove to the Gruene Weide to feed and water Herbie the donkey and after waiting out a spring shower we walked the land photographing wildflowers. The photo at the top of the page is one of many, which you can find the rest on my flickr site at
