Caprock Canyons State Park, Texas

Clouds reflected in a pond.

Near sunset.

Exposed gypsum layers. Lots of these all over the place. Exciting for a rock hound like me.

Just slightly after sunset, with a longish exposure.

Lichen-spotted rock on Mt. Scott.

Elmer Thomas Lake, seen from Mt. Scott.

These berries were all over the place. I only ate a few. They weren’t as tasty as they look.

Bison by the roadside. He was not impressed with us.

Prairie dog. I think his name was “Eddie”. Yeah. Eddie. That’s a good name.
