Not very often do I see a Common Ground-Dove up off the ground, much less on a pretty perch like this. I had set this perch up a little higher than I usually do, so maybe he felt safe way up there.
Common Ground-Doves are NOT that common, but we get them at the ranch on a regular basis. In my back yard I more often see the Inca Dove, another not-too-common, tiny dove.
The male Common Ground-Dove is distinct from the female in that it has a pink cast to its plumage all year long. The female is more drab, a soft gray color. The pairs seem to bond all year long and do everything together. If you are very quiet and you move slowly, it’s not too difficult to get photos of a pair drinking water together.
Today is a go-to-town day, to run errands and perform administrative tasks. Thats not my favorite way to spend time, but I’ll definitely spend some time in my new studio space...

Stand-up paddling the Santa Elena Canyon in Big Bend was more of an adventure than I planned for. Doing it in 113-degree heat was a bit crazy, but we had a goal and wanted to see it through. We very nearly ran out of water, and the 5 mile upstream paddle with a loaded down SUP was extremely tiring, even with hardly any flow. But, as always, type-II fun adventures produce some of the best memories, and this trip was no exception.
Let’s switch seasons - here is a summer sunset at the Lighthouse. It just doesn’t get any better than this, at least here in the landscape challenged Texas Panhandle!! #palodurocanyon #hikingtexas #inspiretexasnow #instagramtexas #westbysouthwest #Divine_deserts #whatisuptexas #lifeisbetteroutside #hiking #betteroutside #texas #nature #naturephotography #txstateparks #westtexas @only.in.texas
Sometimes it’s worth the drive hoping for a sunset . . . came across this Texas flag barn with a Texas sized sunset.

I find so many new parks because of y'all. Thanks to @jasmine.rdgz for tagging us in this shot from the trails at Daingerfield State Park in North East Texas. Jasmine hikes with her kids so she looks for trails that aren't too long. Thanks Jasmine for sharing this NE Texas gem with us!
