I actually like this tree better in winter than in summer. Without its leaves, I see the natural uniformity of its shape and I get to see all the bird nests.

Central Texas is not one of the hot spots for color change in autumn, or any other season. But it does happen and we can find some wonderful examples, if we just know where to look. One such place is the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center.

The arctic winter temperatures traveled south earlier and colder than usual this year. While many of us were scrambling to keep safe, warm and dry, our miniature rose breathed a sigh of relief and blossomed nicely.

A storm came through this morning. After the rain, the clouds started breaking up.
