Blanco is the town just south of Johnson City and it has a lovely state park...
The kitties enjoyed walking on the X-Long concrete tables.
Yes, juggling the two dogs and a camera AND getting everyone in the picture is a challenge!!
Pretty scene.
Trees, trees, trees!
High-steppin'!
Pooped cat, energized dog!
One of the mini-dams along the Blanco River.
Another pretty, moody scene.
And look! Live entertainment!!!!!
The Blanco courthouse. The Texas courthouses are so cool - one of our Texan friends said he'd often thought he should put together a book of TX courthouse photos...and then found someone already had! Some of them are really ornate- I didn't get a chance to photograph some of the ones on our route to Corpus Christi, but they were extraordinary, to say the least!
Afterwards, we drove on to see New Braunfels and San Marcos, places Bill once considered small, pretty towns. I didn't take any photos there (other than this one of our cute critters sharing the back of the cab) - there may be pretty parts left, but there's only big city there now as far as I could see! Yuck!!!!!!!!! We're getting so spoiled, getting to spend so much time in small towns and beautiful back country!
And one more unspoiled view...
I found your blog a few days ago and enjoy it very much. Love the kitties and dogs, and how you include them in everything. We had a kitty and took her with us but she wasn't too good at traveling. Yowed (thats like yowl and meow) all the way to Colorado and back last summer. Keep up the writing and pictures. Betsy
