Just before leaving the house today I glanced over at my red rose bush and saw the rose bud was opening up...I have been wanting to get photos of my first rose bloom of the year but the wind has been terrible...doesn't make for a clear crisp photo...I thought it's now or never, wind or no wind...
There is another bloom budding out so maybe in a few days I can try for a crisper photo but here is my first red rose bloom of the year...I wish I could put the scent on here as it smells delicious....use your imagination!! Ahhhhh....
Now for the gruesome, lol...We recently had a raccoon get hit in the road near our driveway...well the vultures have been picking at it...Sorry I couldn't resist a photo...
It's raw nature in South Texas....
Black Vulture eating breakfast...Oops I should have warned you...I hope you are NOT eating!
I caught another one flying in to sit in a tree and do what vultures do best...sit and wait!
I then decided while I was in Goliad to take a few photos...
(another words play with my camera!) I've never shown y'all my home town...I love it here! I wasn't born here but got here as fast as I could, lol...
The Goliad Court House...(well the top of it anyways!)
Presidio La Bahia (Fort) was established at this location in 1749, with Mission Espíritu Santo (Chapel). It has been owned by the Catholic Church since 1853 and is currently operated by the Catholic Diocese of Victoria, Texas.

( I don't want to bore anyone, lol) I could read this stuff over and over again...always learning something new...
The entrance of Goliad State Park with Mission Espíritu Santo State Historic Site in the back ground...If you live here you learn the history and I love it!! Texan's fought for their freedom and independence and won when the odds were not in their favor...Which just goes to show you if you believe in something fight for it and don't give up!!

That is all the time I had today...I hope everyone has a good week!

What a wonderful town you live in, Wendy! I had no idea about the rich history, etc!!!! You pictures are great too.....I love the buildings!! They have so much character!! TFS!!
Thanks for the virtual tour - It's so interesting to see other places in the world. Not too keen on the Vultures though LOL!
The rose photo is beautiful. I can smell it's perfume. I'm taking my last digi class from Jessica Sprague and then I'll take a photo class. I am needy in that area. Your photos are perfect.
I really like your Pancake LO with your son. Great colors and design.
Happy Easter!
