Texas Parasites

They are rustic…

Unusual…

Unique…

 

More bush than

actual trees…

A parasite for

ranchers…

Food for cattle…

CRACK for horses…

Old School

fence posts…

 

With delicate

lacy leaves

and gnarled

branches…

they are a

SouthWest delight

to some…

Perfect BBQ…

And…

A scourge to others

 

What my elderly

aunt thought were

peach trees during

her first trip to Texas

 

The lowly

Mesquite…

Earth Day – Day 22 April PAD

Earth Day

Today brings the

uncertainty and

potential violence

of nature

 

Typical Spring

weather in Texas

Potentially dangerous

storm with

deadly lightning…

torrential rain…

damaging winds…

golf-ball sized hail…

And..

Tornadoes…

 

Mother Nature in

all her power on

the one day to

celebrate her glory…

 

Just a typical

Texas Spring Day…
