Love that country, ST, wish I could have spent more time there than just Deer Hunting.
Well, you've got me started now so here's a few from some of the best years of my life while living in the Hill Country of Texas.

A typical Sunset over the Colorado River Bend area.

OUP and Spacetrucker, there's a song by the Josh Abbot Band called "My Texas". Your pictures cover no less than four of the true Texan things listed in the song.

ST, this was the first stop in a day Cruise of Classic cars from our Club in Burnet (LASR). I got up on a high rock and took every ones pic as they crossed (stopping in the middle until I waved) A friend drove my 55 across. We then went to a Foster Childrens Home where they treated us to Lunch and we took all the kids for rides in our Hot Rods. Fun times for sure :tup:

Maine Lobstah ( as a true New Englander ) would say are second to none in this country when it comes to cold water seafood imho.
I'd love to head to NZ and pig out on your seafood fare !!
