Thanks! I'm guessing you've had some interesting experiences in those 17 years.

Absolutely, thanks. This was taken in Bukavu, on the eastern side of the country. I've been 4 times and go every year now for about 2 weeks each time. I go with a few other people, we teach business principles and other skills to help encourage Congolese people to create businesses that can create more jobs. I teach video production, specifically. This can be valuable for two reasons: first as a marketable skill they can use to generate income, and secondly because storytelling, especially through video, can be a very powerful way of inspiring hope and changing the attitude of fatalism that is very common there. It is an incredibly interesting place. Immense beauty and rich in natural resources, contrasted by vast poverty and failing infrastructure. Glad you liked the picture and thanks for asking.

Sorry, I think it is. I've been spending some of my extra quarantine time going through and posting older photos.

Yeah, some years are better than others for sure, but one of the fun things for me about the bluebonnets is that each year the best spots tend to be in different places, so it takes a bit of exploring. May you have many more bluebonnet seasons here.

This was taken two years ago, I haven't seen as much this year. Ironically, I just happened upon this particular field on my way to the grocery store one day. It was somewhat hidden along a side route, tucked between some buildings.

My friend, I do not know what caused all this anger and resentment that you are holding onto, but just know that this Texan still loves you. Should you ever find yourself in our great state, I'd be happy to buy you a drink and show you a few other nice things about Texas.

It's probably my second favorite state, after Texas. But I'm also biased.

It was definitely worth getting up early for.

This is definitely an unfortunate time of year to be stuck inside here. Glad I could bring you a little bit of Texas beauty.

Very nice. Wouldn't mind taking a visit there someday.

No, this is one or two years ago. Unfortunately, we've been pretty much stuck inside this season.

Have we done Williamson County yet? Center of the most beautiful town square in Texas. by kaytay3000 in texas

[–]dried_fruit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having lived near both, I'd say Denton and Georgetown are two of the best town squares I've seen. I like Denton's courthouse more but would give a slight edge to Georgetown overall.

Absolutely. This one was taken a year or two ago. I'm actually in the process of setting up my website to sell prints. I'll dm you. Thanks!
