Now that looks like MY front yard. Just change the river for my gravel drive. Green all over my side of the street thanks to the trees, grass and weeds. Just all the fields around that are sad.
This basically wiped out all the corn and soybeans. Get ready for the national food and gas (mixed with what? Ethanol! Sucrose to make it will now have to almost exclusively from sugar cane and not corn) spike. Coming to an area near you soon.
The riverwalk is part of the San Antonio river. The water comes from a group of underwater springs, if I remember correctly. Also it rains quite a bit overthere.
Sorry to hear about the drought in your area. Hopefully the rains will return to your part of the boonies. Here's some more green.

Very purdy indeed. Where did they get that water? The few rivers and ponds we have (had!) around her have dried up!
Nice to see the green. Good contrast with the corn I can see out my window in a field across the street. All dried up and dead on the stalk. :(

Funny you ask. Visiting the River Walk and taking the boat tour was the one thing my mom wanted to do before leaving Texas. And that was what we did. We also got into the mall right after, where we bought some souvenirs and looked like a bunch of tourists when we left for CA the next day.
Overall, very green and scenic, and very pretty.

Did you get to the River Walk in San Antone? It's beautiful, also all the great mexican restaurants along the way. The river walk mall was cool too. Hope you had a good time.

Spa, did you wish for my early death?!? Say it ain't so!!! HA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well, just came back from Texas. Stayed in Houston and went to San Antonio, Galveston, and a town called Tyler. The trip was mainly for a family reunion of sorts, so I didn't get to do too many touristy things. Weather was humid, but pretty tolerable. Pics will have to wait, though, since I can't find the USB cord at the moment. Grrrrrrr...
