Perhaps you have never driven across Texas, north/south or east/west it really does not matter, trust me when I tell you - it is BIG. We spent the majority of day 2 driving southbound into the Rio Grande Valley. Many thoughts of my Grandma & Grandpa B. flooded my memory...they were 'snowbirds' or 'winter Texans' for better than 20 years. 
We stopped to visit the Palo Alto Battlefield.
We stopped to visit the Palo Alto Battlefield. The site of a big 'ol battle between the US & Mexico regarding boundary lines.
A few prickly pear cactus were blooming with the others just waiting to burst into color!
I love the pink flower (vs the typical yellow) and the awesome texture on the plant.
South Texas is humid & tropical - perfect for growing fruits & veggies. We made a stop at the roadside farmers market to taste a sample!
And load up on grapefruit & oranges - sweet like candy!
next up :: the beach!

Beautiful pictures, every one of them! I love all the colors and contrasts! They make me miss Texas, though...
