This post is an experiment to see if photo collections would best be served here at this site. These images represent nature scenes and flora throughout the Pecos Trail region.

Visited Eaton Hill Wildlife Sanctuary in Sonora Texas yesterday. What a wonderful hiking and nature trail this is, just off Interstate 10, so it's easy and accessible for travelers to stop on their way through the region. And it's free of charge! The sanctuary is quiet, peaceful, beautiful. It is fun to hike the 3 miles or so of trails over slightly rugged terrain that is not too difficult. I tried out my new hiking shoes for the occasion. I suggest wearing a good pair of hiking shoes, bring water, plan about two hours, and plan to be done well before dark! You will see some desert plans, such as cactus and octotillo. I saw a herd of deer, but they ran away before I could snap a picture. There are also a number of exhibits along the trail, including an outlaw camp, an Indian teepee, birding maps and pictures, and a WWII dedication. You'll love it!

The avatar is of the Million Barrel Museum, located in Monahans Texas. It was first constructed in 1928 to store oil, but soon after abandoned due to leakage. The structure still stands today and is part of a museum complex that includes a Coca-Cola exhibit, an original jail, railroad cars, the 1909 Holman House with period pieces, and more!
