I grew up thinking that all of Texas was flat, hot, and dusty. Oh, and I suppose you could add, humid. To be sure, there are parts of Texas that are all of the above. But I’ve been amazed by the beauty of West Texas, through which I’ve had the opportunity to drive twice in the last two months. The photo below was taken in the early evening.

The next picture was taken at the same time, but looking in the opposite direction. My truck and trailer served me well during the long drive from Orange County to Boerne, Texas.

The cloud formations are truly inspiring.
