On the way home today I decided to stop in Goliad at the Fort and Mission for some quick photos. I've never shown any on my blog but Goliad has a lot of history. I didn't stay long as Michael wanted to go home. But maybe someday I'll go back and take some more.
This is a photo of the Presido La Bahia (Fort) from the top of a hill. It's a pretty neat and interesting place and I've been in it several times. http://www.presidiolabahia.org/ here is the link if you'd like to read more about it...A very sad story in Texas History regarding Colonel Fannin and his troops.

Then we have the Mission. This is the Mission Espiritu Santo and also part of Goliad State park. They've recently painted it and it is beautiful. Here is the link for it http://www.tpwd.state.tx.us/spdest/findadest/parks/goliad_and_mission_espiritu_santo/
Violet Ruella (some mistakenly call it a wild petunia)I spotted this little beauty in the dry creek bed of our driveway. I had spotted them a few weeks ago but when I went back to take a photo something had eaten the blooms. So today when I spotted more blooms I immediately jumped out of the truck and snapped a few photos.

The fort and mission shots are spectacular! What a fascinating place. The violet does look a bit like a petunia...love the colour
