Plans were made; a date was set and when the much-anticipated day finally arrived… the heavens poured! Another date was set and much to my dismay… more rain. One more date set and (you guessed it)… even more rain!
Now don’t get me wrong, rain (without heavy flooding) in July is not something that I or any Texan will truly complain about. Plants, animals and humans all need water during these scorching hot summer months. It is really only a simple inconvenience.

Although the Bastrop trip is temporarily on hold, a different trip is planned for this weekend… if it does not rain! My destination is the banks of the Guadalupe River, just above Canyon Lake. A mere 60 miles or so west of Bastrop, right in the middle of the Hill Country, so the search for the Giant Walkingstick is still on!
On a completely different note, I am finding out that not everyone is as enamored with bugs as I tend to be. I really can’t pretend to be 100% shocked. I learned a long time ago that you cannot please everyone; however, on this matter I can at least compromise.
It just so happens that I have plenty of scenic and/or landscape shots that I can add to this site. I will not promise less bugs… just more images without bugs. Of course, if you could zoom in really, really close I bet you would still find a bug or two.
