I May Want to Stay Here

Here is a great picture my daughter took the other night from our view from the camping spot we had in the mountains. The river is the Arkansas.

Way back in the mountains in the distance you can see where there is now a wildfire that has been burning since Friday. The sky is now dark and cloudy from smoke. Firefighters have been nearby camping out to assist in putting it out. It has been so hot and I feel so sorry for them. The kids and I drove up toward the mountains to see how big it is and it has really burned a large area.




After she took this picture and turned around to hike back to our picnic spot, she spotted this deer. There are signs everywhere that says we cannot feed the wildlife. I remember as a kid feeding deer all the time but apparently they became more aggressive and people started getting hurt.

I'm already not wanting to go home. Even though I love Texas so much I just can't get enough of the views here. I grew up here but don't remember ever appreciating it as much as I do this time.
