Sketch and Photos from Bastrop to Oklahoma City

I did a quick sketch for Scavenger Hunt 131 in the car on the road. Pretty shaky lines, but I sketched! The 7 x 10 inch sketchbook, half page with a Pilot Ball Point pen. Just a few minutes.


Number 4, straight - the interstate, and Number 5, abundant - the cars and trucks on the highway.

It was a spectacular day .. about 81 degrees. And, a few photos along the highway, all taken out the window on the way. I missed some great mares and colts and some wonderful cows. Ah well, on the way back maybe we can slow down or stop. Gene will stop when I ask. :)

Some wildflowers and oak trees on Highway 95 north of Elgin, Texas.

I like barns and this looks interesting.

I liked this windmill with the flag on the tail.


Picnic tables with a Texas look. Straight on they look a little like a cow skull. The big old caterpillar passed us on the way.

Working on the fence, there were two trucks and two more workers but I missed them at 60 mph.

Crossing the Red River. Texas on the right and Oklahoma on the left.

Into the Indian Nation with a few casinos on the way. Must be in Oklahoma. Ha.

By the way, the Longhorns play Baylor at 1230 p.m. tomorrow. It could be a little late, it is the second game of the day. Go, Horns, Go!!

Do you have a really great camera, or does Gene stop for you to take photos :)

Bag Blog, hi! I have a little Casio with instant on feature. I take the photos on the fly and crop the blurry part off. :) Gene will stop, but I usually just click away. Lots of blurry ones. Ha.
