raccoon thirsty and unafraid
Raccoons visit our fountain. This one is especially cute and thirsty. Note the fountain was off until the camera sensed movement and that triggered the fountain.

The best birding campground in the country — tell no one
Our favorite spot for camping and birding is in central Texas in a state park in Hill Country. It is South Llano River State Park, south of Junction, Texas, on I-10. Get barbeque at Lum’s.
The campground is perfect. There are numerous trails out of the campground. We’ve been going for years and haven’t hiked them all.
