Another day comes to an end on the cedar covered hills of the Wild Basin Wilderness Preserve in Austin, Texas. I made this shot as I was heading back to the parking lot. I had rounded the corner and was struck with how cool the scene looked with the light streaming through the trees down the trail. It felt like I was ascending into the light on a late winter afternoon.
Another shot I made at Wild Basin Wilderness Preserve last weekend. I got off the beaten trail a little and shot back up the creek to where the trail crossed the creek. You can see the stepping stones and trail in the background. I liked the nice little S curve the stream made at this point as it flowed toward it's destination. Nice to see the water in it from the rains we've had this winter.
Every holiday season Blanco County lights up their courthouse. On the night they light the courthouse they have a big fireworks display right before they throw the switch. We were lucky enough to find out about the celebration the weekend before so we made plans to be there on Friday night for the festivities. We were not disappointed and the weather was much better than when we went there last December during one of the Poler Vortexes. If you ever find yourself in the Texas Hill Country on Black Friday, Johnson City is a great place to see fireworks, a LOT of Christmas lights and hear some live music..
