Hill Country Adventure

            I’ve always been fond of the Texas Hill Country for the nature is breathtaking yet familiar. Luckily, our company lists plenty of lots out in the surrounding Hill Country of San Antonio and assigned me with the fun task of going out and photographing them. This week, I visited properties out in Canyon Lake and Spring Branch area and got to bask in the trees and shrubberies among the wildlife.

As we all know, this summer we have been fortunate (and unfortunate) to have plenty of rain storms to beat the drought away. Because of this, grass fields are lusher than ever and the lakes and rivers are high, boasting plenty of summer fun for our boat loving neighbors. This is evident over in Canyon Lake. There is an abundance of wildlife, tall, mature trees and blooming wildflowers that paint the landscape in a myriad of bright colors.

After perusing the area to find hilltops to gaze out at the forested land, I was envious of the those that built their homes on these hills for they get to enjoy the most impeccable views. The sunrise and sunset out in this part of Texas alone must’ve been the motive behind their decisions to reside in the Spring Branch and Canyon Lake area.

I look forward to my next Hill Country Adventure. Make sure to find it here.
