Description
This image captures a striking harmony between nature and manmade elements: ancient tree roots weave across the earth beside carefully laid limestone steps. Taken in Pedernales Falls State Park, this trail scene illustrates the rugged spirit of the Texas Hill Country and the resilience of its native cedar trees.
The contrast between the winding organic roots and the structured stone path evokes a sense of balance between wild beauty and thoughtful stewardship. Every step on this trail reminds visitors of the untamed history of the land beneath their feet, shaped by time, erosion, and human intention. It's one of many moments we seek as we journey through Texas State Parks, always looking for textures, stories, and scenes that ground us in nature.

Greetings to a sweet young lady with a heart of gold and a stupendous artistic talent. I thought I'd better come by your gallery to see what's shakin'. I'm pleasantly surprised by what I see. I can see that your artistic talent is a precious gift you were born with. The beauty of your artwork is a reflection of the beauty of your gentle soul, my lady. The world is precisely a reflection of who or what we are inside. Beauty is NOT out there. It's in human soul. You see beauty in everything around you, even tree roots, because you have been blessed with beauty in your soul. I also LOVED LOVED LOVED reading your eloquent, highly poetic, gorgeous biography. I read it several times. It's a bit similar to my bio I call PERSONAL MANIFESTO in case you want to take a couple of minutes to read it. You take care, sweet young lady. I hope you have a merry Christmas and a prosperous new year, Brigitte.
