would venture out into the mystery of
the Marfa Lights, as we would try to
figure out what was the cause of those
lights.
We also loved to look at the great big
Texas sky which would sparkle in the
moonlight. I can recall one time while
we were looking up, and many fireflies
came out like a perfect dream.
Not only does my family come here
for our reunions, we also enjoy the
Fourth of July festivities in Fort Davis,
The Marfa Lights Parade, and just the
towns themselves, since each is unique
in its own way. On a recent trip I took
26
pictures of some of my favorite spots
and images.
The photograph of the drive from
Balmorhea to Fort Davis was taken to
share my experience of that beautiful
road. This sight always excites me as I
know I’m getting closer to the famous
Scenic Loop, which begins and ends at
Fort Davis.
This year before heading to Fort
Davis we drove down to the Calera
Chapel. It is a good place to pause from
reality and spend some time in prayer.
This chapel, in the middle of nowhere,
is one of the most beautiful and serene
I’ve ever been in.
My next stop was The Indian Lodge
at Davis Mountain State Park, my
Cenizo
Third Quarter 2018
childhood favorite place to stay.
Stopping at the entrance, I immediate-
ly saw the beautiful agave posing per-
fectly for me. At the
lodge I looked
around and took a
photo of the magnif-
icent beauty sur-
rounding the lodge.
My last shot felt
so wonderful. After
driving up Skyline
Drive, it was neces-
sary that my family
and I take a photo
overlooking
the
great
mountain
views that the area
provides. I hope my photographs excite
and invite you to my happy place.
Don’t forget your cameras!
