GRSP

We like places that end in "SP."  And so we liked the Guadalupe River State Park.  Susan and Joe included it as a tour stop on our way home from Boerne.

I had to keep remembering we were in TX at its "ugliest" time of year - winter barren.  In the spring and summer, things are much greener (or should I say gruener?!) and prettier.  But this shot has more brown in it than normal, as it has obviously had a recent controlled burn.  

 Mostly a forest of oak trees, down by the river it's a different story.  Green grass, even in winter!  And big beautiful trees, including...

 the big bald cypress trees that I so love!


 Susan and I were out front, following our cameras.  Bill and Joe, lacking any fun photographic gear, brought up the rear.


I don't have macro, so this is pushing it, but when Joe wondered aloud if these were displaced leaf cutter ants, I had to get a shot.  Maybe these are a different, US variant - grass cutter ants?
