Beauty in South Central Texas
We spent about 3 weeks in the area around San Antonio and found
beauty in several different areas around there.
Take a look –
Morning on the Golf Course
Often, when looking at a golf course, you can get lost in the
idea of where the golf balls need to go.
But, one morning, the sun in the sky didn’t let me forget that it’s also
a snippet of nature, even though it may be located very close to a city. Early spring means you can see the
silhouettes of the trees clearly with warm clouds behind them. Take a moment to embrace the quiet.
Line of Trees
The pond in front of these trees isn’t very large, but it was
still and that was most important to allow me to capture their mirrored
reflection. It’s moments like this that
bring the beauty of nature home to those who take the time to notice them.
Incoming
At a natural area close to the Medina River in Texas, there was
a small garden. In the garden, was an
orchid tree. I had never really known
that orchids could grow on trees, and I was spending a few moments
photographing the blooms. Suddenly, a
busy little bee decided that he had work to do and just flew into my camera
range. What lucky timing!
Near the Pond
It’s a quiet morning in the middle of spring. The trees are starting to fill in with leaves
and green becomes the color of the day every day! There are morning clouds that look like they
might be thinking of raining, but the sun is starting to burn through
them. Enjoy the green in changing light.
Walking Along the Medina River
There is a path that runs along the Medina River, and when
walking along the river, it sometimes feels like you are walking onto the set
of some sort of fairy tale. It’s cool
from both the river’s effect on the temperature and the shade of the
trees. This felt like some sort of
hidden spot where almost anything could happen.
Reflection
The river’s current is running silent and deep enough that it
was impossible to get a sense of it by looking at the rocks in the river. It appears as calm as calm can be and like a
mirror. It’s impossible to tell from
this closer image how fast the water is moving, due to how smooth it is. You get a sense of peace gazing at the rocks
in the river.
Enjoy!
