Where I come from...

As I mentioned before, we moved from Texas to California...

I thought I would share a few photos from where I come from.  A placed called Amarillo.  It's mentioned in many country songs... Amarillo by morning-George Strait, Amarillo Sky-Big & Rich,  Fly over states-Jason Aldean, Amarillo-Alan Jackson... and that's just to name a few.

The photos below are of Cadillac Ranch created by an eccentric millionaire (who apparently had nothing better to do with his time or money)  but it is kinda cool.

An actual tornado touched down in this area about an hour after these photos were taken...

    Cadillac Ranch

 This one is pretty cool... You get a good view of the wall cloud...

The following photos I CANNOT TAKE CREDIT FOR... I simply did a google search of photos of Amarillo and these will be replaced with photos of my own... As soon as I can find them...

   American Quarter Horse Association-Amarillo

 
    The famous "Big Texan Steak House"  It's famous for their 72oz. Steak.  Yes, we have eaten there, but         there, and yes it's good (did not try the 72 oz. steak. (but it's free if you can eat the whole thing with all the trimmings (good luck).  You should stop by it you ever drive through Amarillo.  Here's the web address of the restaurant.  www.bigtexan.com

 
    Sunrise outside of Amarillo- And a view of a few Oil derek's

   Palo Duro Canyon is the second largest canyon in the US.  Second only the Grand Canyon... Located    just outside of Canyon, Texas- Just West of Amarillo.

   Palo Duro Canyon... just copied a pic from the website...

Just a few random photos of Fall in my neighborhood...

The area I live in is beautiful in the fall.  Sometimes we get so busy that we forget to stop and really notice the little things.  I really enjoy the season changes, really appreciate the beauty, so I wanted to share a few photos I snapped along the way...

I took this one yesterday evening as I was leaving the grocery store.  Beautiful, isn't it!

    Water color painted sky

   This is just outside my front door... Just a few minutes ago!

I took the one below just a couple of days ago on my way to work...

    Fall sky

 This next one was taken a couple of days before halloween on a morning run through my neighborhood...
 
        Changing of the leaves

 This is where I work... Taken Halloween morning...

                      Isn't Sutter pretty in the fall?                

Hope you enjoy these photos as much as I do.
