We have been using the interstates for most of our driving since we left the Pacific coast. They get you there faster but there is a lot of semi-truck traffic and the scenery gets monotonous. While we were visiting Ken and Nancy last night Ken suggested a route for today that would take us off the interstate and down some Texas state highways.
As we were leaving Ken and Nancy's place last night there was fresh snow on the ground. This morning it was raining and had warmed up to about 2 degrees. We followed Ken's suggestion and had a nice drive down some very good highways. It rained all day, heavily at times but we were not having to deal with the spray of 100's of trucks passing us. I was even able to find a couple of barns that I took pictures of.
We have moved south and it is getting warmer ( about 10 degrees) but the campsite we are in is very wet. The trailer is sitting on a concrete pad in about an inch of water and grass around us has 2-4 inches of water. My boots have not been this wet since Barry took me out in the Argo to look for wildlife in Kitwanga. Fortunately I have a new pair of boots and they kept my feet dry.
It was interesting going out with Ken when he had his camera. He would often take pictures when I wouldn't normally (for example - when we were out at lunch he was taking pictures of the signs in the restaurant - something I wouldn't normally do). I am meeting up with another photographer, Anne McKinnell (http://annemckinnell.com/) and I am looking forward to spending time watching her approach to photography.
This is a long exposure (about 15 seconds) taken in the restaurant, people were moving in and out of the shot while it was taken.
The other day we were in Dallas at the JFK museum. They have the point marked on the road where JFK was shot. Here is a picture of me standing at that spot from the grassy knoll.
Here is a picture from the spot of the corner window where they say the fatal shots was taken.
We also drove by Texas Rangers Stadium.
