We just returned from our stay in the Davis Mountains of west Texas...I absolutely loved it there!!! Most people think of west Texas as flat desert land, but it was truly majestic. The weather was PERFECT and we had such a wonderful time. I almost hated to return home, but at the same time, it's good to be back.
I thought I'd share a few pictures...I only took about 1800 while I was gone. ;)
    
    
If someone could identify this critter, I'd be grateful...it tried to kill me, I think. ;)
We saw javelinas, deer, prairie dogs, all sorts of cattle, horses, and tons of different birds. We saw animal tracks and scat, and found out that where we had picnicked for lunch and dinner in the park was the favorite hangout for the family of mountain lions lurking about. We smelled where they had marked their territory, returning from a 3 mile hike...it didn't smell on the way up but it was sure strong on the way down. There was a bear sighting the day before we arrived. Yikes.
Anyway, it was a great trip and I'll have more pics to post soon. :) |
