The Texas State Capitol. I was downtown with a friend and while we were walking around, I spotted this view of the Capitol with the clouds floating over it. Some days we just get lucky..:)
Here's an image from my last trip to Texas to shoot the Cypress Swamp. The sky was pretty ugly white in this image, so I tried the new Adobe sky replacement. It's like magic and it dramatically improved the image. I have so much to be thankful for and feel very luck. Lots to look forward to including seeing and spending time with friends and sharing our modern style of friendship with those I only know on social media. Happy Thanksgiving.

This is the famed "Round Rock" that the city was named after. I looked it up and it seems that I didn't have the story right.
In 1851, a small community was formed on the banks of Brushy Creek, near a large round and anvil-shaped rock located in the middle of the creek. This round rock marked a convenient low-water crossing for wagons, horses, and cattle. The first postmaster called the community "Brushy," and the creek was called "Brushy Creek". But in 1854, at the suggestion of the postmaster, the small settlement was renamed Round Rock in honor of this now famous rock. After the Civil War, Jesse Chisholm began moving cattle from South Texas through Round Rock on the way to Abilene, Kansas. The route he established, which crossed Brushy Creek at the round rock, became known as the Chisholm Trail.[17] Most of the old buildings, including the old Saint Charles Hotel, have been preserved. This historic area is now called "Old Town.

This old abandoned gas station is situated near the intersection of old US 75 and Interstate 45 on the north side of Madisonville. US 75 was supplanted by I-45 in the early 1960s south of Dallas to Houston. No doubt this old 1950s-1960s station served travelers on both highways.
