I have been all over. lol travel a lot... And I've been to Texas. I used to hate it because it was soooo huge and took forever to get through. Then I started to stop and explore little towns...loved it. Got some great used boots (vintage) at a truck stop for a couple of dollars!
You said you are in Laguna...is that Laguna beach? or some other Laguna. But you shouldn't say really generally on line... the internet can be pretty dicey place...

I'm happy you get to go back. I'm leaving on the 12th to go visit my children (they are adults). I'll be in Los Gatos (near San Jose) for a couple of weeks. I can't wait. Then in June I'll go back and be in Long Beach, etc. whew I miss it sooooo much.

Somewhere around there.

Yes, there is no place like California, even though it's different in differnt parts of the state. There are bad things too but I always love being there... well, except all the heavy traffic! Just wait til you can drive.

It feels good to see the open road like that.

Very dramatic shot, nice clouds to contrast against the long dark road, and the framing really brings the whole image out

Miles and miles of road. I was thinking of the eastern plains in colorado when I saw this. I feel like I have been on this road before.

Wow .. that sky is amazing and with that landscape being so flat and cold looking (not something I normally associate with Texas!), it's a fantastic capture!

Thanks. Texas is definitely flat (mostly) and it's got that pale look in winter and sometimes in summer. Part of the year is very hot but in Jan and Feb it can be quite cold too at least in the more northern sections of the state.

I didn't know that .. and I know it's sad, but it's so nice to find someone else that spells 'definitely' properly

LOL. Spelling is a thing with me. I hate it when all the kids say "prolly" for probably.. oh my!

sometimes when traveling west texas as a passenger, i'll nod off, wake up, sleep, stare out the window....and always amazed that people actually crossed this land in wagons, on foot, on horseback....it never seems to end
this is a great shot yvonne.....i gotta say, the more i look at it, the better i like it
why don't my landscape pictures show such texture and depth?....damn

I have been learning new little ... ever so small tricks from a PS book I bought. I just do them once in a while. It helps.
I've had the same thought crossing our vast country. It's quite astounding that people did it by foot and by wagon!

Oh, wow, wouldn't that be awesome then!! My son bought a 63 Cadillac...long and big fins on the back. He and his new wife used it for just such a honeymoon trip. Great memories for them..

Yes.. and you can go pretty fast there... but strangely not as fast as you can in Nebraska.

Very impressive colors and endless perspective. It reminds me on "Road to nowhere" by Talking Heads.

Thanks. I'm not certain but we drove across on 40 this time. I suspect it's just after you cross over from New Mexico

I love the feathery textures in the sky and the feeling of movement i get from the blurred lines on the sides. Great post processing regarding the colors. Very cool look.

Ah, yes, Texas. At first glimpse, I thought it was one of the great plains states, but Texas works too. That flat, vast expanse of road and sky is so much a part of the American landscape. There is a spareness to it that appeals to me, although the lushness of other parts of the country is wonderful too. Good, evocative shot.

Thanks. Are you spending a birthday with your young one...

David is scheduled to come out from SF on Sunday. He's going to help me with some of the computer stuff I need to do before getting some prints made at a good print service place, and we'll have some time to talk, eat sushi, maybe laugh a little. At the end of the month, my offspring have planned a special event -- all three will be in SF, even my New Jersey daughter. I'll stay at a hotel with my NJ daughter, and the other two will hang out with us. This is for my birthday, which is next week, but the travel arrangements couldn't be made that fast, so we are delaying until the end of the month. This is just so great of them, and I am very, very excited. There is just such a sweetness in this for me. I'm sure you know what I am talking about.

Sounds like a wonderful time. I've many many pleasure moments in SF hotels.
