WW: Lipan, Texas

Last week, I shared with you my experience just outside of Fort Worth. (View, Peter Pan, Texas Sized Rocker and Natty Flat)Today, I wanted to share with you a few more pictures from my drive. In all seriousness, I never get sick of these back roads. The view is awesome. I kind of just want to pop open the hatch of my car and just sit back and enjoy the scenery.

Hope you enjoy the pictures!

There is nothing like taking pictures of these old shacks. I couldn’t get closer to this one. They had a no trespassing sign in their driveway / road.

Wild turkeys! I got kind of excited when I saw these and I thought of my brother. He would’ve started making the gobbling noises and if it was hunting season, there would’ve been at least one dead. When is turkey hunting season in Texas anyway?

You know me and my windmills!

…And fences!

One more old house!

Have a great Wednesday y’all!

Texas Tuesday: Fort Worth Stockyards

5 Replies

This week I’m co-hosting the Texas Tuesday link up with Amanda from Princess of the Panhandle and Crystal from Masons Mama. This is a chance for any blogger to participate in a post on the greatness of Texas! There’s so much to explore!

This week I’m going to talk about a great event that goes on everyday in Fort Worth. It is a true taste of the wild west, the Fort Worth Stockyards and a must see for anyone visiting the area. The Fort Worth Stockyards bring the old town wild west into modern day Fort Worth. It’s one of my favorite places in this area!

Twice a day, the cattle is driven down the street by cowboys, just as they were years ago. It’s a sight to see! Coming from someone who completely loves these animals, it’s even better!

Once the cattle drive is complete, head on over around the corner for a live shootout! That’s right! I said shootout! Be sure to stand close and pay attention so you can take part and see all the action of the gun show!

The shootout brings together those of all ages, the kids and adults enjoy it all the same! The actors do a great job incorporating humor into the show and seriously, how can you not like their outfits!

If you are in the area or if you’ve lived here your entire life, head on over to check this out. The best part is that it’s free so if you have a family, this is a great , affordable outing for an hour or two. Enjoy the great spring weather with a little bit of free, Western entertainment!

Wordless Wednesday: Texas Country Drives

7 Replies

If you’ve been following my posts, last Saturday I found myself just wandering thru Texas country. There is nothing like it, the open roads, Texas country playing on the radio, few other drivers, scenic views and just the rustic west. Every so often, you come across something completely unexpected. It’s nice.

These are some pictures from the first leg of my drive. Even though I technically wasn’t that far away from the city, it felt like a being a world away. That was nice. Maybe everything really is bigger in Texas!

Route taken: 820 W, Exits Las Vegas Trail and Silver Creek Road then I found my way down Old Weatherford Road – Lake Worth / White Settlement / West Fort Worth.
