Little Church on the Square (Georgetown Flashback #4)

I'm drawn to old churches, anyway, 

but this one just a few steps off of the courthouse square in Georgetown, Texas, 

especially caught my eye, 

with its castle-like, fleur-de-lis tipped architecture. 

  

But what I loved most about it (as you'll see) 

were the windows, the clapboard siding, 

and the pretty red flowers lining the ramp.

Beautiful combination, right?

It doesn't take much to make me smile.

It's now the home of the Georgetown Heritage Society. 

Very fitting.

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.
