After returning from our short camping trip, we were busy with unloading the camper, laundry, making a grocery list, etc — finishing my sketches and posting them could wait. 😁
We were just a bit north of Houston but I managed to find a couple of red leaves — maybe dogwood? Not sure, but I love drawing autumn leaves! And the camper must’ve missed our regular trips; as soon as we set up camp, the plumbing broke down! We drove into Huntsville for repair parts, passing the Sam Houston statue on the way. Usually he is brilliantly white in the sunshine but this time had lots of shadow on him.
The first time we camped here at Cagle there were great masses of American Beautyberry, which is great for keeping mosquitoes away. The shrubs didn’t look so good this time, probably hurt by the summer drought.
Though I didn’t hike an entire trail this time, I did manage to hike down to Lake Conroe and this view. The forest had a wilder-than-normal look about it. Not very many birds this time and only one squirrel spotted. But very peaceful!
