New Walgreens in Corpus Christi

24 hour Walgreens
This might not be in keeping with what I have been posting previously but it it something I did see 'Along a Texas Road'.   A new Walgreens store under construction on Staples. It also caught my attention because I will deliver to it when it opens.

Early morning in Refugio

Early morning at Refugio
Interesting cloud pattern mingled with early morning light over the taco place in Refugio.

Sunrise Over Ingleside


Coming from Refugio this morning I saw the effects of the morning sunrise over the area across the bay that used to be Naval Station Ingleside.

Point Comfort Texas

Here along the central Texas coast are a number of refineries and other large businesses.  I am passing by one of them near Point Comfort. The flame caught my attention as it is bigger than it normally is.  Places like this provide work for many people here in the Texas Crossroads area.

Bastrop Fires - 3 Years Later



Shot these photos along 21 just a few miles outside Bastrop.  Still very obvious the damage from the fire three years ago.  Seems to me they cleaned up more along 71 but here along 21 there is still a lot of damage visible.

Tree Lined Roads

This shot is along US 183/77A northbound between Goliad and Cuero. These are the kinds of trees that line this highway in this area. Maybe not the kind of trees that you would think are beautiful, but they have their own beauty and they create the special part of Texas that this is.   And, in a few months, this highway as many others in South Texas will be lined with wildflowers.

In a JAM?


Seen off of 45 in North Houston.  You might be in a JAM if this truck didn't do his job:  delivering gasoline to your local stations where you can keep your car humming like the fine vehicle it is.
