Branson, MO

Several months ago some of the people from church headed to Branson, MO to see the play

"David".  We stayed for two nights at a bnb, and this was the view from the deck. 

A little different than the view from anywhere in TX that I've seen.

Bare Tree in Field

On a winter day.  A bare tree in a field of dead grasses.

The dock at the Lake

Fact:  there is only one natural lake in Texas.

All the rest are man-made.

For someone who comes from a place where there are lakes around every bend in the road, that's a difficult fact to wrap your brain around.

I went to the lake near my home today hoping beyond hope there would be a photo op.  There wasn't. This dock adjacent to a boat launch was the best I could do.  

My heart is grateful that:

the sun was shining today and I was fairly busy

A Wide Empty Landscape

I went to an estate sale yesterday.  It was a few miles from a small town and then three more miles down a dirt road, basically in the middle of nowhere.  This is one view from the house and it was like this 360 degrees around the house.

I know there are people who like to live as much off the grid as possible, but this makes me scratch my head.  My question is "why"?

My heart is grateful today that:

I went to the movies to see the new movie "The Hill".

I recommend it highly.

Sunset at the Beach

After walking through town and having a delicious ice cream, we wandered down to the beach and saw this beautiful sunset.  I've never been good at photographing sunsets, but I tried again.  

This is just an average image, but being near the ocean soothes my soul.

My heart is grateful for:

the opportunity to spend some time near the ocean with a good friend
