Central Texas Galleries

Burnet County : Few places are more scenic owing to spring wildflowers than Central Texas. In years with just the right amount of rainfall -- not too much and not too little -- the color variety, quantity, density and fragrance of Texas wildflowers can be staggeringly wonderful. By far the most popular and prevalent wildflowers are the Texas state flower, the bluebonnet. Bluebonnets are hardly the only scenic floral attraction, however. Other prevalent and often photographed spring wildflowers include Indian paintbrush, Drummond's phlox, several species of spiderwort, white prickly poppy, winecups, prairie verbena, Indian blanket, Mexican hat, and many varieties of yellow blossoms including daisy, coreopsis and black-eyed susan, just to name some of the main colorful characters. The most scenic Central Texas areas with which I am familiar straddle Austin and, to the capital city's east include the counties of Washington, Austin and Travis. To Austin's west lies the Hill Country, which includes among others, the counties of Burnet, Blanco, Llano and Gillespie, in which I have spent many pleasant days photographing the the landscape.

Gillespie County

Georgetown, TX : Founded in 1848 at the junction of the North and South San Gabriel Rivers, Georgetown is the county seat of Williamson County. The town was named for George Washington Glasscock who donated the land for the new town. Early pioneers were attracted to the area's abundance of timber and good, clear water. The home of Southwestern University, originally established in 1840 as Rutersville College, Georgetown remained an agrarian community for most of the 19th and early 20th centuries. The Chisholm Trail, a cattle trail that led from Texas to the rail centers in Kansas and Missouri crossed through the heart of Georgetown. The downtown courthouse square where the images below were made lies at the heart of the town's downtown historic district. Most of the prominent, historic buildings on the square date to the late 1800s.
