Medina River Greenway, Old Applewhite Rd Trailhead, West

Today's photos:

Once again, this was a walk with more beauty and wonder than can be viewed in a single post without producing a total sensory overload. This set of photos communicates the basic feeling of the experience, but there was so much more. There will be at least one, possibly two, more posts of photos from this walk.
