A Walk in the Park

The weather was overcast this morning shielding us from the hot Texas blazing sun so I decided that we would enjoy the outdoors and walk some trails. I don't think anyone else in my family enjoys walking as much as I do, but atleast they never complain too much. I really would prefer to walk much more than I do but there other obligations that need to be tended to - I take what I can get.

Last time we were in Pflugerville I decided to pick up a map of the city at the Welcome Center. I figured since I frequent the area a good bit and it's also the city where Toby is employed I should familiarize myself with the streets....as if I need any more maps to add to my glove compartment.

While I was there I picked up a trail map. I have been itchin' to walk the trails around Pfluger Park for a few months so that was our destination for the day.

Although we walked a couple of miles it really didn't seem like it. Gilleland Creek runs right alongside the trail so we spent alot of time investigating the creekside. There were also a couple of parks we passed along the way that Summer insisted on stoppping at. There were many things to investigate along the trails. We even found a tree FULL of mistletoe. In Alabama, mistletoe was always in the very tops of the trees, I don't know why it was hanging so low in the branches of this Pecan tree.

Here is Toby giving Summer a kiss under the mistletoe...



Thankfully, one of the parks along the way had a water mister. Even though the sun was not shining it was a somewhat humid day. Here we are at Bohls Park..







Here are a few more miscellaneous pics of our walk.

I just added this pic of these wildflowers for no other reason other than I have never seen two totally different flowers reside on the same plant....
