It was an overcast, cold, misty November day when we visited Selah - Bamberger Ranch Preserve yesterday for a hike of the ranch to take in the fall colors. I made this shot above one of the ponds on the ranch. Their dog was leading our group and appears to be asking 'Are y'all coming?' This is a beautiful piece of the Texas Hill Country, even on a misty day.
Closing out the work week with another look at the fall colors at Selah - Bamberger Ranch Preserve. Some people mistakenly believe that they cleared all of the cedar trees from that property in the Hill Country, but as you can see here, that is not true. The Golden Cheek Warbler and Black Capped Vireo depend on the cedar for nesting, so the managers of the ranch stress that there are still cedar on the property, they just aren't allowed to take over everything as they had when the property was purchased in 1969.

It was a beautiful evening in the Texas Hill Country when we visited Blue Hole in Wimberley a couple of weekends ago. The reflections on the water told the story well. Wish I could go back there today.
