Enchanted Rock tribute



This morning, Shena and I hiked at Enchanted Rock State Natural Area. (Yes, she made sure to get reservations.) We were there to celebrate and remember and honor her precious daughter, Claire, who would have turned 29 today. The weather was gray and a little chilly, but not windy or too damp. We headed up at 9:10 a.m. and were back down by 11. We took our time so we could enjoy the views, flora and fauna.
We saw black-throated sparrows.

I accidentally spotted and found a geocache!

Some vetch.
A pretty fern that I didn't know.
Bladderpod of some kind.


Happy 29th in heaven, Claire. I am honored to have known you for the short time that I did and am so grateful for the wonderful friendship I have with your sweet mother.

What a wonderful outing you two had. That looks like a fantastic place to visit and a lovely place to celebrate a life you were blessed with even for a short time.

Happy Spring ~ FlowerLady
