In 2002 I took several trips in Texas. From the Hill Country to the Gulf Coast, from the Prairie and Lakes to South Texas Plains, from Big Bend Country to the Gulf of Mexico, from deep underground caverns to sky reaching mountain ranges, I witnessed the vast diversity that only Texas can offer . On this page and the next, I will try to give you a glimpse of what Texas is made of. But in reality, there is much, much more than what one man can see or photograph. If you live in Texas, I encourage you to go out and walk through the unique experience that is Texas; If you have not been to Texas, I suggest you come down here and see what Texas is all about.
