 A Pretty River Scene by VeronicaG
There were more than a few ducks, geese and cormorants lazily paddling in the water. Soon we were greeted by a jogger and then a fellow walker, as we followed the paved path along the river.
A woman tossing bread to the ducks came into view, then this pretty view of the bridge reflected in the water.
FYI: This walkway was situated along Guenther Street near the Water Authority and the Guenther House.

A 75-minute tour takes you through a half-mile of the largest and most spectacular show cavern in Texas.
The temperature is 70+ and humidity 90+ percent so it is not cool in these caverns.
It is steep and wet in places so wear your sneakers. Leave a Comment

As you wonder either to and from the downtown area, enjoy many of the historic buildings that surround a square or plaza topped off with a beautiful fountain. The Bexar County Courthouse 1731-1978 is just on of many structures that are truely buildings of art. As quoted from a web page listed below: "The Wharton Independent, in 1888 observed: "It has been truly said that the glory of a people is inspired by the genius of their institutions, by the monuments they build and the edifices they erect . . . How well it is then, in this era of progress, that we people of Wharton should set up in our gateway a structure that shall proclaim to the world our advanced ideas, our high conception of patriotism, and our love for the beautiful in art . . . Build, build high this temple of justice, that the virtues of our people may endure forever." I think this illustrates the pride of past, present, and future citizens of San Anotonio have for their city.

 Emu with baby by kyoub
Natural Bridge Wildlife Ranch is home to over 500 animals from around the world. See, feed, and photograph to your heart's content while you drive through this picturesque, Texas Hill Country ranch.
You are given one sack of food per carload and extra sacks are available for purchase.
As you drive around on the gravel road the animals come to the car to be fed. Watch your sack though because they will try to grab it.
The young kids love this place. Leave a Comment

Commerce Street, near intersection with Soledad Street
History: On the morning of December 7, 1835, a Mexican soldier perched in a cypress tree across the river fired into the courtyard of the Veramendi Palace, killing Col. Benjamin Rush Milam, one the commanders leading the Texan assault on Gen. Perfecto de Cos’ garrison during the Battle of Béxar. Although this incident was not a part of the Siege of the Alamo, it played an important role in events leading up to the 1836 battle. [Note: The best way to view the tree is to stand on the north side of Commerce Street, on the bridge near the intersection with Soledad Street. The tree, which has two trunks, is located near a tan colored multi-storied building.] http://www.thealamo.org/gallery.html Leave a Comment
