Wild Rose Pass in Southwest Texas

If you have ever driven across Southwest Texas, you probably think of flat barren land with occassional oil rigs and miles and miles of nothing. That's what I used to think of  until a recent drive through Alpine and Fort Davis, Texas. I came over a hill and there was this gorgeous view that I didn't even know Texas had. I had to stop and get out and just stare at the view in all directions. I was so awestruck that I almost forgot that I had my camera in the car, so I got it out and took some images to look at later and see if what I saw was real. I Will be going back to this amazing area.

Downtown Siloam Springs

There is still a little color left on the trees, but it won't be there much longer. I walked around in downtown Siloam Springs yesterday so I could take a few photos before the leaves disappear for the winter. It was really windy so the water wasn't real smooth but the colors were still pretty decent in the trees. I think that I'll try and get up real early tomorrow and see if I can get some shots before the wind picks up.

Dogwood Canyon in Missouri.

Went driving around the other day and crossed the state-line into Missouri. I went to a place I had been to several years ago called Dogwood Canyon.  It was after 4 pm and they close at 5, so I went in anyway, but couldn't walk too far in that time. About a mile in I noticed this scene and had to take a photo. I would like to go back when I could get there a little earlier and not have to rush, plus they charge you $12.95 to get in, whether you're there all day or 45 minutes.
