Last sunday (25th April) after lunch we planned an outing, somewhere near by ..and Ceder ridge came in handy. The google described it to be a sorta hillock of abt 780 ft high, and it was suppose to be a kinda natural preserve, of some wild flowers birds and native vegetation.
The drive was very pleasant, thru the typical vast open lands of Texas, which is green at present. Another interesting point I noticed was the number of churches. There was a church for every half a mile.Tall compound walls hid spacious houses with large garden and garages.The preserve was not anything the way it was described, but still had a lot to offer. The prairies were preserved with Lavender lacing, and daisies smiling in between. It was indeed great walking thru the fields. Only disappointment was, the butterfly park, where hardly any butterfly fluttered by...:(...
The uphill trail was not very steep, a gradual ascend thru thick woods. The trees and plants are of native vegetation. The feel of crisp clean air was very refreshing. The smell of raw vegetation filled the nostrils and it was a nice experience. We did spot some colorful birds, but couldnt click any for they were very swift and disappeared in the tall trees.On the whole, it was a good break from the tight weekly schedules.
