Our Texas Hill Country Trip

I've been falling behind in my blogging lately but wanted to post a few pictures from our February trip to the hill country. We were there visiting with our daughter and son in law at their condo on Lake LBJ. It's such a pretty place and so much to do for anyone loving the outdoors. First off we had to go to visit the eagles near Llano. We weren't disappointed either. As we drove up we could immediately see the huge nest and one of the parents flying in with food for the eaglets.
 

The eaglets are hopping from branch to branch now and will soon be fledging the nest.

This parent was close by just watching as the little ones exercised their wings and keeping a close eye on the river below.

 

 

 

We took a scenic route back to the condo, crossing the Llano River and passing through some pretty countryside.

 

 

 

 

 

The following day we drove to Ink's Lake State Park where we walked one of the hiking trails.  This was fairly strenuous for me and I'm so thankful it wasn't a very hot day or I never would have made it!!  It was 3.2 miles which doesn't seem like very far but a lot of it was rocky and steep.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Now which way??  This isn't looking good!

 

 

 

Now back at the lake and Tropical Paradise.  Seems so unusual to see palm trees in central Texas, but they do very well here.

 

 

 

These little guys look happy with their home on Lake LBJ.
