Re: Pics from the walkers
Pics like these are a big reason programs like Midsomer Murders, Endeavour, Grantchester & Father Brown have captured much of my weekend TV time..keep the pics & history/commentary coming!!..
PS: Walkers should watch how they go & pick up sticks again next weekend!!..

Re: Pics from the walkers
We had a frost this morning, in April!
It reminded me though of a dank, frosty morning back in January, when I took these photos whilst out walking Davie (greyhound).

Re: Pics from the walkers
^^Great pics all!!..thought I'd add pics from my daily walk in the neighborhood(near Dripping Springs, Tx.) w/ the pups..so this morning, I started at..
Winston & Walter both point the way down the front yard path way..
Now, we're taking a look back at the casa & then starting down the street of a cove directly across our street..
At the end of the cove, a trail begins that encircles our sub-division..it's sort of a poor man's Barton Springs trail..
We now leave the cove & begin our journey down the trail..
After a few short minutes, we come to the proverbial 'fork in the road'..this morning, we decide to take the left fork..
After a few minutes, we come across some abandoned sheds that were used to maintain the property & cattle that once called this area home..this whole area had at one time been a thriving ranch until rising property prices, coupled w/ changes in the economy, pushed people out of Austin that were looking for more affordable housing..
Here's a pic a little bit later of some of our sub-division..
Now we start back home..
And finally, the pups & I cross the street & we're back home again!!..

Re: Pics from the walkers
^^^^ Great photos of where you live.
Although the photos I take seem normal to me, I’m well aware they can seem like a different planet to those who live in other parts of the world.
Your pictures taken in Texas are somewhere I’ve never been, and if I’m honest, somewhere I’m never likely to go. However they are fascinating to look at. I can almost hear the rattlesnakes and feel the sweat trickling down my neck just looking at them.

Re: Pics from the walkers
I was unable to go, but my wife and son recently went to the Lake Tahoe region about 3+ hours away (driving) from where we live. My wife took these pics on a hike:

Re: Pics from the walkers
It really is a beautiful place. We used to go once or twice a year but the pandemic shut that down. This was the first trip in a long while.

Re: Pics from the walkers
Superb photos today gents of three very different areas of countryside, each with their own attractions.
I'll openly admit, I'm more likely to visit Sowerby than Austin or Lake Tahoe, much as I would like to visit them all.
Thank you.

Re: Pics from the walkers
Those bring back memories. When I lived in the Bay Area we used to go up to Tahoe often; Homewood on the west side and down to Emerald Bay in summer and Squaw for skiing in winter.
A beautiful area.
