Autumn in Texas


My thoughts always turn to travel in the fall.  I guess because I am coming out of heat induced hibernation and ready to GO!  I'm ready to go see some autumn leaves, can you tell?

Texas doesn't generally have the bright fall colors of states further to the north, but there are exceptions.  On "good" years, the east Texas piney woods, the central Texas hill country, and the Guadalupe mountains in west Texas can offer some nice fall colors.  Even the Houston area has its moments, although usually later in November as seen in the top photo, taken at Armand Bayou Nature Center south of Houston.    The second photo above was taken in late October at Garner State Park on the Frio River (about 90 miles west of San Antonio).
