Default The Hill Country, Texas

The Hill Country…. Would you believe that we drove through/by a town in the western section of this area with a population of three? I kid you not. If you check a map you will see Telegraph Texas, which consists of one frame building which is the Post Office and that is the town. It was once an important cog in the telegraph system.
While there are a handful of towns that have turned themselves into tourist meccas, one can easily go beyond the obvious and find that most have arrived in the 21st century without losing their identity. Their old, sturdy, stone historical buildings planted around the town square of 1850 remain. The buildings have gradually evolved for current use by ranchers and farmers without major surgery.

There is an abundance of trees that I have not yet identified but find interesting. In their dormant stage they appear smoke gray in color with trunks branching out close to the ground. The thick branches are gnarled and twisting in all directions, as if they are caught in a struggle between reaching upward to the sun that makes them grow and downward to the earth and water that they need to live. In spite of their dormant stage the ends of branches have thousands of new young shoots that betray the life that still remains to be lived. As if further proof were needed that life does go on, these dormant trees are intermingled with a multitude of the same tree in full leaf of healthy green.

Our time in the Hill Country has been well spent. The search for the Texas pioneers from my family tree was fruitful and the surroundings have nourished my soul.
