November's changing colors, at Lost Maples State Park

We heard last week that the colors where about to change,.
So, in the van we went for a overnight trip, 69 miles west of San Antonio, to Lost Maples State Park.

And, sure enough, the change has indeed begun!

Some from orange onto shades of red.

And, while the temps started in the 40s, by mid afternoon it was in the 60's, 
something we indeed enjoy in this part of the country.

It was the 4.6 mile East Loop Trail we took.
A little steep, as we climbed up to 2,500 feet.

And the porous rocks were a title rough on our dog's feet.

No, that's not volcanic rock you see. It's limestone, with many eroded holes, 
back form the days when all of Texas and even New Mexico, was covered by an ancient sea.

But, as you can see, at the end of it all, 
these 4 happy hikers did survive, with just a few scrapes and falls.
