Rising Higher — Veterans Day at Old Baldy

Today we honor everyone who has served our nation. Your service is invaluable and honorable. 🎖️ Every time I hike Old Baldy at Garner State Park, the rock pile where the flag flies seems a little taller, one stone at a time. May our hopes and dreams keep rising with it.

I took this photo on a previous hike a few years back, just as the trees around the summit were starting to turn gold. Garner has been on my mind lately, and not only because of today. Next week, I’m heading back with another photographer friend for some leaf peeping. By all indications, there may be some fall color this year. My cabin will be by the Frio River, where I caught some beautiful foliage last year, so I’m keeping my fingers crossed for a repeat.

That is the story behind the shot. For more like this, enjoy these related stories: Fall Foliage, Garner SP, Landscapes, Old Baldy, Parks, Texas, and US flag. Until the next shoot, keep chasing the light and the wonders it reveals.
