Spontaneous Big Bend – 2014

Big Bend road trip in early 2014 (January 2nd) with a couple of good friends and only a few hours of planning.

Texas – OU 2013

October 12th, 2013.  Texas pulled off a shocker to blow out the Oklahoma Sooners in Dallas, 36-20.   Interesting fact:  A defensive lineman from each team scored a touchdown on an interception return.  (Hook’em, Chris Whaley!)  Great game!

A lot of beer is sold on game day. This is the view we like to see at the end.  The stadium is divided along the 50-yard line, with this photo showing that the OU faithful have already left for the day.

Waterfall – March 2013

This is a waterfall on the greenbelt near my house.  These days the creek and waterfall are usually dry.  When it rains things come back to life quickly.

Another view.
