I left before sunrise. By the time I drove through Portland, Texas, as I turned on the curve along the highway, at the horizon, I saw what I thought was a giraffe!!! Can you see it? A cloud?

All the while I was walking in the park, the clouds were amazingly pretty. So between the camera taking photos of the birds, the cellphone was used to get some pretty cloud images....








I'm always hoping I'd see George Strait out and about on his yacht....he lives here [and other cities/ranches in Texas]. His Rockport house is somewhere among all the houses you see in the distance. I'm guessing it's probably on the other side, more on the open sea. But I can still 'wish!!!







Take me to Texas, on the open range
The Rio Grande is in my veins
It’s heaven there and so my prayer
Is that you’ll take me anywhere in Texas
~George Strait
Song from mini series "Texas Rising"
That does look like a giraffe. Too bad no George but who knows, maybe some day.
ReplyDeleteI'll keep lookin'.
DeleteThat is definitely a giraffe. I didn't know who George is until you gave me that tidbit of a poem. :-)
ReplyDeleteHe's country western singer/songwriter

I always look to the sky to see what kind of stuff the cloud formations make.
