Photo 08-25-2008

Today we were going to hike in a nature park that I found online. Well .... since it rained a lot last week and this is a subtropical climate we did not count on one thing.... and no it's not because of all the mud, that would have been okay! NOOOOOOOOOO, musquitos and lots of them and really big ones. Even with musquito repellent on, they were attacking us the minute we came out of the car. At one time I had about 30 on my pants and only spraying the musquito repellent at them could give me some relief for about 2 minutes! They even followed the car for a while when we got back in! Terrible!! That's one thing I don't like about living in Texas! So now I have hardly any pictures.... can't concentrate on taking shots when you have to fight of all these musquitos and are itching from all the bites!! So only a few from the nature park.





The only good thing is that to get there we had to cross the Fred Hartman Bridge... which is a really nice example of lines! Pictures are all taken by my husband, since I was doing the driving!!

Ewww, sorry about the skeeters! Bummer, that place looked so beautiful too. I hate it when nature ruins our enjoying of nature! LOL

LOVE the bridge... that looks just like the bridge I cross when I go into KY! :)

Wonderful bridge shots, but, oh, how I hate mosquitoes! Guess I'm crossing Texas off my list of potential places where I might retire someday!

Ewww I hate mosquitos! Looks like a great park though I really love these shots, you have to go back soon on a non buggy day.

I love bridges, except when I have to go over them. ;)

Love the framing of the first shot and all the cool lines in the photos, especially the birds on the posts.
