Weekend in Wimberley (Part 1:Green)

I escaped with some girlfriends to a bit of heaven on the banks of Cypress Creek near Wimberley, Texas, this past weekend.

and cold and clear and refreshing, after that initial gasp.

Majesty

The green, the reflections, the silence...

Reflections

...it was truly surreal and magical.

Keeping watch
