Monday's Country Back Roads


Looking for January's beauty is what I was thinking of today as I headed out on the back roads.

My small part of Texas has an average of 229 days per year of sunshine or partial sunshine. Today was one of the partial sunshine days.


Even with the sun shining, the temperatures are in the low 30's at night.


There are still waves of dried prairie grass to admire....

Standing high on The Bluff, overlooking the river below....feeling the connection I have with this land.


If you also love your part of the world, I'm sure you understand when I say, "I feel a tightness in my throat as I look out at this view".

  1. What lovely photos. You are SO lucky to have so much sun. I think the sun statistics in my part of the world would be depressingly low! Jx

    1. It's one of the many reasons I love where I live....and, I guess the photos prove it.

  3. You live in a beautiful place, Meggie. I particularly like that first photograph with the dash of autumnal colour on a couple of the trees and then it is echoed by the building in the distance.

    1. Thanks Elaine...I'm not sure why that particular foliage holds on to the tree during the winter. It does make for a pretty photo...

  4. Everywhere we've lived has had a beauty on to its own--your little piece of America is no different. I love you photos, Meggie. They give me even more insight to someone I dearly cherish as a friend, XOXO
