 After work today Elder Gibson and I went for an evening walk
I've wanted to explore the Christmas Creek area, so we ventured out along the
pastures that surround Christmas Creek

Hard at work

In a couple of week's walking this will be a lot harder.

Christmas Creek is on the right of our walking

Red bud flower's with the new green leaves

Ground covered in growth and flowers

lots of thorns and vines everywhere

Virginia Creepers, Poison Oak, and Poison Ivy 

Texas Baby Blue Eye's Flower

Baby Blue Eyes

Yellow Buttercup

Dew Berry flower

Look at the roots of that tree the river is washing under the tree's roots

"oh what a tangled web we weave"

Hang on tree

So Christmas Creek has hardly any rock to hold its banks

so the Creek eats its way through the pastures

Oyster shell mushrooms

This tree has been hollowed out by the woodpecker's

This is vines all weaved together,

 in a few week's the growth will be so thick you can't see through it.

If you look real close you can see the green leaves on the upper branches.

bogg in the trees

swamp in the forest

this tree is loosing it's trunk, but the roots must run deep

because the tree is still growing strong

New leaves

This is where two creek's meet the small creek enter's Christmas Creek

stepped out of the growth of tree's the beautiful pastures 

that feed all the cow's

looking back into the growth of trees we just exited

Our first Scissor Tailed Flycatcher

First signs of Blue Bonnets

Beautiful night sky
