After living in Texas for six years (holy cow!), I’ve found the best way to “see” Texas is by taking a random drive. I’ve found, that this is a hard concept for some but you have to be willing to get out of your comfort zone and it’s totally worth it if you want to get a little glimpse of what Texas is all about! There’s no telling what you’ll see… ranches, oil rigs, cows, armadillos, tumbleweeds, cowboys (there’s a great Quicktrip gas station off 35 south that has lots of cowboys), etc.
Every once in a while, we should all just go on a random drive. Better yet, if you’re on your way somewhere, give yourself extra time to explore! There’s no telling what you’ll come across or just how incredible it will be.
So what do you say? Let’s get in the car and go!
Today I’m linking up with Communal Global, The Jenny Evolution, Photography Essentials and Create With Joy for {Wordless Wednesday}.
Love these photos! I would love to drive around the country for a year taking pictures!

You and I both! That would be an incredible experience!
Great photos, Diana! Texas is beautiful. I have only been to San Antonio but hope to go back some day.
Thanks! Texas is huge, that’s the problem, haha. I don’t seem to cover enough ground!
I love exploring places taking a drive. Very relaxing. Thanks for sharing your trip.
Drives are one of my favorite things to do (minus the summer heat). Thanks for stopping by!
Great pictures Diana!!! You captured true Texas.
Thank you! This is the Texas that I love!
I have lived in Texas since I was 4 and I’ve seen it ALL. From the beaches of South Padre to the oil rigs of west Texas to the piney woods to the east. We have a beautifully diverse state and my parents LOVED road trips! Thanks for sharing!

Diversity yes! It’s huge!
How beautiful and what a great way to travel, seems good for spontaneous adventures!

Spontaneous for sure! You never know what you’ll come across!
Wow what a beautiful area. I love going for drives or walks and seeing new things. I love that barn photo!

Me too. The old or unique barns are the best! Very rustic!
I totally agree. When I lived in Texas (Houston, Dallas, Conroe, Carthage) I would just get in the car and go. There was no telling what you find, but I would find something every time.

It’s the best and can totally be the best part of the day. A great adventure!
Having a barn with a Texas Flag painted on it is definitely on my Texas bucketlist. Great pictures!
