McKinney Falls

McKinney Falls has turned out to be an excellent refuge. I absolutely love walking out there. It is similar to the walks I had in Mississippi but the landscape is a bit different. I know that I am in Texas because of the short gnarled trees, the rocky terrain and the cactus. This is just something we saw in books or magazines when I lived in Mississippi. There are several things about the Mississippi terrain that I long for but if I were to ever go back to Mississippi, I know that I would long for the Texas terrain as well. This first beautiful scene was taken at McKinney Falls and the photo does not do justice to the actual scene. It is where one of the falls feeds into a basin that continues downstream. The second scene is just as hard on the judgement of beauty. There is a bench with a table that is right beside this opening into the brooklet that runs through this area. This place has everything. I kept wondering why this park was so well kept and had so much to offer and realized after driving around the park that the Texas Parks and Recreations main building is situated on this property. If you really want to go to a beautiful place, Go to McKinney Falls. You will not be disappointed.
