Lake Medina TT & San Antonio

There is no lake at Lake Medina because of the drought in West TX. The ranger told us to see any water besides the creek running through the dry lake bottom is at the dam at the end of the lake. It is 60 feet below what it should be.

On one of our walks Dick took this picture of these strange vines that look more like tree limbs.

One of the reasons we enjoy this park is the deer that are everywhere.

I put out some bird feeders and the deer thought we had put them out for them.

Dick went to see if they would be scared off and they were not.

I learned this year at my 50th high school reunion that Mike DeBusk lives in San Antonio. I called and we made a date, he and Terri came and picked us up and we drove into town. First stop was The Basilica of the National Shrine of the Little Flower.

Wonderful old Catholic Church. None of our pictures did it justice.
