~Horns as in Long and Beep, Beeps as in Fast

Copper Breaks State Park
Quanah, TX
2 nights, Site 22
View this Texas State Park here: Copper Breaks

Cloudy skies all day.

You just have to go with what you are given and that is what we did, several walks around Copper Breaks State Park with the doggies for a total of 4.5 miles.

During our walks we saw some interesting sights….

It was early evening when we saw this fellow hunting bugs in the grass.

Perhaps it is the vintage look of these Windmills that I like so much.

Well past its blooming season, but still lovely with a splash of color.

It is always interesting to walk along a river bank. The Pease River, a tributary of the Red River which runs through West Texas, meanders its way through Copper Breaks State Park.

The end of our day, enjoyed and treasured.

Looking forward to what tomorrow will bring. We will be on our way to Cooper Lakes State Park.

  1. I LOVE those kinds of walks. So happy you had the time to breath and take in all the beauty! The roadrunner photos are awesome! Beep-beep!

  2. I LOVE ROADRUNNERS! I miss seeing Roadrunners since we moved from Tucson…they have such personality! and they love lizards and frozen mini raw meatballs. Gimpy would “chatter” at our door for a handout at Rincon Village RV Park East. She would eat 3; take get 3 in her bill to take to her nest. Bad habit to feed “wildlife”, but everyone fed “Gimpy” at Rincon (she had a hurt foot). She was as much a “resident” of Rincon than any of us.
