Happy Happy Hump Day! It has been a blue moon since I have shared a Not So Wordless Wednesday post. This time I thought I would share a few photos from one of our favorite campsites in East Texas . It was at a very peaceful place called Neches Bluff Overlook near Weches , Texas. It is part of the Davy Crockett National Forest. I hope you enjoy!

Looks like a peaceful place to stay. Beautiful photos!
ReplyDeleteIt was, Kate. We stayed here several days and would go back again . We found lots of campsites further back as well. Have a great day. Hugs.

Aaah thank you so much, Gabi. It was a beautiful site. The bird would sit quietly as I passed by she was a beauty. Hope you are having a great day. Hugs.
DeleteLove your photos - thank you for sharing. It looks so "pieceful". No wonder you both love these get away locations. Blessings!
ReplyDeleteHappy Wednesday, Donna. This was a great campsite . It was 'pieceful " Lol. In fact , I got a lot of quilting completed here. Have a wonderful day. Hugs.
DeleteAwesome perspective photo looking up into that tall, tall tree! I think that darling bird is a female cardinal. I can't imagine how you got that close to get such a nice clear photo. Thanks for the show!
ReplyDeleteI wondered if that was a female cardinal. She had her nest right at the entrance in a low bush . On our daily walks ,we would walk by her and she would just sit there. She did not mind us at all. I was fortunate to get a photo of her eggs as well. She was a beauty. Thank you for the sweet visit and I hope you have a beautiful day. Hugs.
DeleteWhat a beautiful spot - so pretty and green! And you got a great photo of the mama cardinal on her nest, too. Love the eggs!
ReplyDeleteIt was a wonderful campsite, Diann. We spent several days here ; I am sure we will revisit this spot in the future. Mama cardinal paid us no attention as we would walk by her on our daily walks. I have never been so close to one. Hope you are having a wonderful day. Hugs.
DeleteWhat wonderful pictures of the outdoors. There is nothing like blue skies and being outside to freshen your perspective and know how blessed we are.
ReplyDeleteIt was a beautiful spot to camp. I agree being out in nature certainly refreshes the mind , body and soul . Thank you for the sweet visit, dear and I hope your day is a blessed one. Hugs.
DeleteLovely pictures. Looks like a truly Heavenly place. Love the sweet bird, too. Blessings to you sweet friend, always. :)
ReplyDeleteOh it was, dear. It was so peaceful and relaxing. I could have stayed here longer , but it was time to move on. Thank you for the sweet visit. Hugs and Blessings.
DeleteThat bright blue sky photo. . .wow such a brilliant color of blue. . . .simply amazing!--TerryK@OnGoingProjects
ReplyDeleteThe sky always looks so brilliant when we travel to the southwest. I am not sure why. Lol. Thank you so much, Terry for taking time to visit me. Hugs and Blessings.
DeleteLooks a wonderful site! Fantastic trees. How trusting was that bird was to sit so close to people. Amazing. Great photos Melisa. Must have been very peaceful for stitching. Hugs, Barbara @flashinscissors xxx
ReplyDeleteIt was a great camping spot, Barbara. I was so surprised that the Mama cardinal did not mind us at all when we walked by her each day on our evening walks. We walked quietly and I tried not to bother her as I snapped a photo. She was a beauty. Thank you for the sweet visit. Hope you have had a lovely day. Hugs.
DeleteThat looks a wonderful peaceful camp site, tucked away in the woods.
ReplyDeleteOh it was , Jenny . It was so quiet and peaceful. I think you would have liked it there too. Thank you so much for the sweet visit. Hugs.
DeleteOff the beaten path sounds pretty good to me, too! I hope there was water nearby for Mr. and his fishing. That is amazing that the little mama had her nest where you could actually see into it. I did a little searching and that was a female cardinal and her eggs. Not having them in our area, I would have been thrilled to see such a thing!
ReplyDeleteIt was a fabulous spot but alas no water for Mr. Pinker. LOL. But he loved this spot too. The cardinal was a good mama sitting on her nest because she did not mind us walking by her each day for our evening walks. She sat their quietly. I had wondered if she was a cardinal because she looked a tad different than our mama cardinals, but I figured that she was one. It was a treat to get to see her and to see her eggs. Thank you for the sweet visit, Ginny. Hope you have had an awesome day. Hugs.
DeleteGreat spot. We loved to play with May pops/apples when we were kids. Great fun. Ooh I love that photo of the mama cardinal you got. They are so pretty!
ReplyDeleteOh thank you so much, Brenda. I do believe we will camp here again in the near future. It was a quiet relaxing spot. Isn't the cardinal darling? She did not care that we were there at all. Hugs.
DeleteWhat a lovely place to be! Texas has really pretty national forests - we used to live in the Sam Houston National Forest, and my husband really misses the trees. Although he used to complain about all the pine needles - lol! That is a beautiful bird.
ReplyDeleteThis was the 1st National Forest that we visited in Texas; it was a beautiful. I look forward to exploring more of your great state. I understand your hubby's fondness for trees except for the pine needles. Hee! Hee! Thank you for the sweet visit, Linda.
