Ellinger, Texas

A slow spot on the highway,

halfway mark between Austin and Houston,

home of Hruska's - pitstop extraordinaire.

I took advantage of driving solo on my return trip this week

 to do a bit of exploring beyond the highway.

Look what I found...

Bluebonnets...

Honeysuckle...

...embracing this old red brick building.

I love old red brick.

And honeysuckle.

Daylilies...

...facing an old church...

I also love daylilies and old churches.

There was more ... I spotted an old cemetery, some old houses, a few old trucks ... 

but I knew I better hit the highway again.

Next time.

Now I know.
