Field Trip #19 – Enchanted Rock

As our official guide and handbook announced to us, this trip falls outside the self-imposed distance parameters for hikes around the Austin area; however, this area is just too good, too beautiful to pass up.  Our guide was correct.  The early April breeze and sun was a refreshing mix of heat and coolness.  The hikes, though difficult in places, were satisfyingly simple and ended in majestic beauty.

Say hello to my little friend

And from the front…Hello.

So cute. But those little hands had no shot of getting clean, however, he’s not sick, and that’s what counts.

It’s that time of day….
