Hill Country Holiday Part 1

This year we decided to celebrate our wedding anniversary in the Texas Hill Country. We found a tiny home Airbnb out in the country not too far north of Fredericksburg, Texas. Cresta De Fuego is a well furnished, very comfortable tiny home set on a hillside. We woke up each morning with a fantastic view of the sunrise from the comfort of the bed. We saw deer, turkeys, cattle, rabbits and a lot of song birds. We watched sunsets from adirondack chairs under a large old oak tree on the top of the hill. We could even see the pink granite mound of Enchanted Rock State Natural Area from the chairs under the big oak tree. At night we gazed at the starry skies from the deck and listened to the serenades of crickets, cattle, and night creatures. On our second night there, the skies cleared enough for me to get a few shots of the Milky Way as a few thin clouds passed by. The property is on Willow Loop Rd. which features some beautiful fields full of wild flowers.

There are many state parks in the area. The closest is Enchanted Rock State Natural Area. On our first full day, we hiked the Summit Trail at Enchanted Rock. The skies were over cast, and there were three separate burn piles in the area putting a lot of smoke in the air. The experience was nice and cool on an otherwise hot April week. On our last night, I made the short drive back to Enchanted Rock to take some pictures of the Milky Way. As luck would have it, the clouds and smoke obscured my attempts. Here is a video of the pics I took at Enchanted Rock State Natural Area.

In part two, I will feature our short trips to Longhorn Cavern State Park, West Cave Outdoor Discovery Center, and other sites close by.

Thanks for taking the time to read my blog and watch the videos. God’s beautiful creations are all around us. Exodus 15:11

God bless you!
