Texas Wildflowers

My husband and I went hunting for bluebonnets this past weekend.  We found a beautiful field of these wildflowers...

Mission Concepcion - San Antonio, TX

More than a church, Mission Concepcion was also a village, fort, school, farm, and ranch.  At the mission the Franciscans gathered the native people together, converted them to Catholicism, taught them Spanish culture, and sought to establish Spanish control of the Texas frontier (c. 1731).

Mission San Jose - San Antonio, TX #2

Mission San Jose and its surrounding fields sustained a thriving community of Indians and Spaniards.  Within the walls Indians lived, worshipped, and attended classes.  They learned to blacksmith, to weave European looms, to cut stone, and to make shoes and cotton clothes.  Outside the walls, the mission Indians tended fields, orchards, and livestocks (c. 1782).

Wine Barrels

This is a picture from this past weekend.  My husband and I took a trip to the Hill Country and found these wine barrels at Wimberley Valley Winery... We decided to take one home with us!  I took this picture with my iPhone and used Instagram to add a different effect.
