I love quaint little places like these and that they were all in a stone's throw made it even better. At first when you mentioned Possum Kingdom I had no idea it was a real place. I looked it up though. If you go to the site there is a picture of the lake with what looks like a stone gate with an opening. In one of the pictures it mentioned Hell's Gate, so maybe that it's name? Did you actually get to that area and get any pictures. I wanted to go to Texas already, since it is where I was born, but now I really want to go because I want to see that with my own eyes. I think I will plan a trip for Texas and Oklahoma, maybe on the same trip I decide to go see the Grand Canyon. Seeing the pictures almost makes me homesick for that area. I grew up at Fort Sill, Oklahoma. (ages 7-14) Anyway, thanks for the great blog. Very enjoyable. I loved this blog.

Perhaps that porch could take the excess patrons, or maybe the Hummer? Get thee to the Double J Art Ranch in Mineral Wells, lots of history, photo ops and..oh yes, great people and music! Nice!

I look forward to seeing your photos when you get yours. I need to learn more of the tech side of photography, too. I have a nice SLR but have not used it in years, and I am embarrassingly rusty on the basics. Cardinals sure are pretty. The female has a bright orange beak, as well. I would love to find a discarded red feather from the male. Thanks for stopping by! :) I’ve seen great shots with Canon Rebels, Sheila. I look forward to seeing your photos when you get yours.

I'm getting one (albeit, a very cheap one) within the next month. I've been saving my pennies. I will start out with the low line (probably the Canon Rebel) and then move up from there. I'm like you, though. It makes me kind of nervous. The last SLR I had was many years ago. It forced me to learn settings because it had no automatic settings. I have forgotten most of what I learned, although I do use manual settings occasionally on my Fujifilm s8100. I wish we had Cardinals here. I don't remember them from when I lived down in Oklahoma. Have fun on your little trip. I'm looking forward to seeing some pictures from your new camera. I can’t wait to get my DSLR. I’m getting one (albeit, a very cheap one) within the next month.

If there's whimsy to be found, I shall sniff it out. If there's none, I shall manufacture some. Y'know, it's not nearly as Springy down here as I would expect. The locals tell me we're a good 20 to 30 degrees cooler than usual right now. Brrr! Thanks for stopping by! :) ~Tui I’ll let you know how it goes, Gail.
