February is the month of celebrating Gerald’s birthday which falls on the 2nd day of the month. This year Gerald celebrated 70 great years. We decided to take a trip to west Texas to do some birding and hiking in the Fort Davis area. On the way we stayed at Tapatia Springs Golf Club in Boerne, TX for a couple of days to play golf & break up the 8 hour drive from Bastrop to Fort Davis.The photo was taken on Feb. 2nd as we began a birding hike into the Davis Mountain State Park. We stayed at Indian Lodge, in the park, and took advantage of a birding tour led by a state park volunteer.
We hiked two and a half miles up and around the hills at Madera Canyon Preserve. It was a great hike and not too difficult for a couple of senior citizens!
