Lake Tawakoni
At the end of January, we were staying at an RV park, approximately 50 miles east of Dallas Texas, called Lake Tawakoni. One night while we were there it rained all night and when we woke, the small creek behind our trailer had turned into a raging stream. There was a Great Blue Heron who liked to search for food here, but wasn’t very trusting when it came to humans. Each time I attempted to get close enough to get some good photos, it flew away. This was compounded by the fact that the ground was covered in leaves that would crackle as I tried to approach its location. I was able to get a few photos, using my large zoom lens, but not as many as I had hoped. I was also able to get one photo of some Grebes in the lake. Take a look!
Cedar City
After leaving Lake Tawakoni we traveled across Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona to Cedar City Utah. The first night in Cedar City, strong winds blew until one in the morning and when we woke up there was approximately four inches of snow on the ground. Most of it was gone by the next day, but the mountains surrounding Cedar City were still covered in a blanket of the white stuff. Take a look!
Great Basin National Park
After leaving Cedar City, we traveled across Utah and Nevada. While traveling through Nevada we passed just west of Great Basin National Park (NP). While navigating highway 93, we passed by Wheeler Peak in the Snake Range of Nevada. Wheeler Peak is the second highest peak in Nevada rising to an elevation of 13,065 mean sea level (msl). The Snake Range is also home to one of the oldest living things on Earth, the Bristle Cone Pine. Nevada and Great Basin NP aren’t the most beautiful places I have ever seen, but they do have a natural beauty all their own. Take a look!
