I took the afternoon off yesterday & we went for a drive in the country. I've been thinking a lot lately about xeriscaping and native plants. The prairie grasses native to this area (& the Great Plains in general) are remarkable plants - much more beautiful & delicate than turf grasses. I love the variety of pale colors, especially the grey-green colors.

Thank you! The pictures of your yard & landscaping and the area around Alice Sp. are very inspirational to me. I wish I could hire you as my landscaping consultant!

huh...I didn't know Texas had scenery like that. It looks more like Arizona or New Mexico to me (though I've never been to NM or TX)

Western TX does have some canyon lands - where I live, quite a bit. But you don't see much of these just driving through - you have to get off the main roads. I guess they're not so well known because of that. NM of course has spectacular and varied scenery.
