What a great day in the Fredericksburg, TX area! We drove the Willow City Loop and threw caution to the wind in spite of warnings not to stop along the road. We stopped at nearly every turn, took hundreds of photos and absorbed as much of the beauty as we could. Once I get them sorted I'll post my favorites on my facebook page.
After that we made our way to the ranch (many thanks to the Cunninghams!), indulged in a quick picnic lunch, scared off the rattlesnake and proceeded to paint. After warnings of rain and clouds, we were thrilled to find blue skies, sunshine and a warm breeze...not to mention some breathtaking scenes to be painted and photographed.
It was a wonderful day topped off with an early evening meal at Bejas Grill in Fredericksburg, a few gallery stops and the lovely ride home. I can't think of a better way to take the sting out of a Monday morning!
