Adventure Location: Del Rio, Texas
Teams Location: Lake Amistad National Recreation Area, Del
Rio, Texas
The hunt areas are scattered all around the lake so a
stop at each of the available ones has been made to familiarize me with the
parking and what is needed for a good walk.
During those short visits a very short walk was taken to get a feel for
the particular area. The side effect of this is several pictures taken of
flowers but which location had which flower is gone from my “memory”. So tonight we get a flowers tour of the
area. The desert flowers definitely know
how to show off in person. The camera
does not pick up the brilliance that emanates from each and every blossom. The
fragrances are second to none in the world either.
Here is a typical gated entry to a hunt area. There is a vee gate in the fence for hikers.
The trail is visible past the gate heading into the
vegetation. Contrary to the usual rules,
in these areas you are free to roam anywhere you choose within the designated
area.
This is the first cactus bloom of the year for me.

| These yellow flowers were absolutely vibrant. |
Roaming around among flowers like these is a very
pleasing way of trying to have tooooo much fun. TheOFM.
