Photo Friday: The Hill Country of Texas

For non-Texans, the diversity of Texas scenery may come as a surprise.  From prairie to mountains to coast to piney woods to desert, Texas landscape changes are frequent.  Right now Randy and I are in the heart of Texas, the Hill Country.  The Hill Country encompasses Austin and San Antonio, Kerrville and Fredericksburg, San Marcos and New Braunfels.  We have been driving the region this last week, enjoying the deer herds, the hills, the buttes, the college campuses, and the quaint village of Gruene.
