Meanderings of a Mermaid

The photos really speak for themselves. What a glorious part of the world we live in. And at this time of year, it really is at its best. We crossed the Llano River. Blue bonnets, Indian paintbrush, wine cups and gaillardias were everywhere. Besides these, any other species of flowers delighted our senses.

It was a lovely day for a drive through the country and to practice my gold panning techniques. My expert teacher didn't laugh at my slow progress and eventually I think I was doing a fine job. Unfortunately no gold was to be had today. But get a load of the nice places we splashed in. Yeah, I am in heaven.
