It is a beautiful cloudy morning here in Crawford, TX. I had a good nights rest, and did not even wake up to go to the bathroom.
It is Friday and we are heading home. Next week I will be blogging from home and also go and explore and capture some of the towns around Byers.
Look at the wavy clouds….

PS. I am busy saving for a few upcoming Landscape Photography Trips to Namibia and a few local National Parks here in South Africa. The most important trip is honoring my promise to Dad to return to Scotland and capture the beautiful landscapes and Puffins. Your help to make these trips a reality would be much appreciated in today’s economy.
It is a cold morning here was -2 degrees at one point. It looks like it is going to be a beautiful day, though.
Today is the one-year anniversary of Dad’s departure.
There has not gone a day by that I don’t think or talk about him. Here in the USA as well. Dad would have loved it here. Mainly all the little run-down towns and their rich history.

It is a gloomy morning here in Brookshire,TX. Kind of like my mood this morning.
We are heading to Houston, TX, and the traffic is horrendous .
Tomorrow dad and mom would be reunited for a year. My heart is still in a thousand pieces.
Wishing everyone a blessed Wednesday.
Remember, don’t take time for granted; use it wisely; you never know when the sand in your hourglass is running out.

We drove in the dark last night. Cattle were crossing the road, and we nearly hit them. I hope the farmer heard the horn and fetched them.
It is beautiful cool morning. I woke up with a sore through and runny nose. Luckily we have medicine on hand and I already took some flu tablets.
Just made us some coffee for the road.

We are on our way to Wellington, TX. We still have 126 miles to go.
We had a lovely day and we just finished our dinner. I must say it is way better than truck-stop food .
Well, friends I am going to say goodnight now and wishing everyone a peaceful night’s rest.

I was very busy cooking up a storm. Bying food on the road does not agree with my tummy.
I can’t eat too spicy or oily food. At the truck stops most of the food are either one of the above or both of them combined.
If you add up the dollars it also works out very expensive. So I decided too cook food for the road. Well this way we will get in one healthy meal per day.
Potatobake nearly ready for the ovenPotatobake before going into the ovenPotatobake,carrots,chicken and flavoured rice.Made enough for four meals. Today we are eating twoChicken fillet blocks, vegetables, and pasta in white sauceMade enough for five mealsMince and potatoes. I made enough for lunch on Saturday and froze the left overs (three meals) for sometime during the week.Put some sausages in the airfryer we ate some of it last night with store bought potatosalad.
We left home yesterday around 2:00 pm for Stigler, OK. It was around four hour’s drive. I woke up to this beautiful scene again this morning.
Next week I will be staying home in Byers. I Still need to capture the rest of Byers. Then I want to go to Marlow, Comanche, Addington, Waurika, Charlie, Dean, and Petrolia. I have to start working on my Travel Photography Portfolio and see if I can add some more to my Landscape Photography Portfolio. I don’t have much time left before I leave for South Africa 🇿🇦.
My time in the Texas, USA is coming to an end. But I will be back in August again.
Thank you for stopping by.
Have a wonderful Monday. Remember the wise words of Walt Disney. “If you can dream it, you can do it.”

Last night was very hot and when I woke up during the night it was raining.
Stuck in traffic this morning🤦🏻♀️ We are on our way to Houston for a load.

I hope everyone had a pleasant nights rest. I slept like a log.
Yesterday was a very emotional day for me. I realized that everything I see reminds me of something dad said. Most of the time my first thought when I see something would be ‘Dad would love this’. Valentine’s day was always special for us and we would spoil each other just a little bit more. We would go out for breakfast, and I would cook his favorite meal for supper. Snackwitches with a variety of fillings in it. My dad was a simple man who loved the simple things in life.
Wishing everyone a Blessed day. Filled with laughter.

The photos in the next few posts was taken on 18 January 2023. I went on a short recce walk to see what I can capture on my visit here.
Interesting facts about Byers, TX
“Byers is at the intersection of State Highway 79 and Farm Road 171, two miles south of the conjunction of the Red and Wichita rivers, fourteen miles north of Henrietta, and twenty miles northeast of Wichita Falls in northern Clay County. It was founded by two brothers, Anthony Walter and George Washington Byers, partners in a general store in Sherman and acquired over 30,000 acres of land in Clay County. There are several versions of how they acquired the land. One is that Mr. Acers, a large landowner in the area, bought barbed wire on credit with his land as collateral, and when he could not pay off his debt, the land was forfeited to the Byers brothers. The other story is that the Byers brothers traded their mercantile business in Sherman for land in Clay County.
Byers was established in 1904 when the Wichita Falls and Oklahoma Railway was completed from Wichita Falls to Byers. The brothers donated $15,000 of the $27,924 raised to complete the line. They subdivided their ranch, laid out town lots, and established the Tree Ranch. Because the railroad went three miles west of Benvanue, many residents moved their homes and businesses to Byers to access the railroad, which was completed through the community in June of 1904. Town lots went on sale on June 10. That year Byers received a post office with A. Harris, the owner of the first store in town, as postmaster. In 1905 Edgar P. Haney established the community’s first newspaper, the Byers Searchlight, to promote the district, its school, and the “Searchlight Town Band.”
By 1906 Byers was a sizable town. Its school had 115 pupils and two teachers, and the town had its first cotton gin. In 1914 the community had a population of 600, the First National Bank, a weekly newspaper named the Byers Herald, several cotton gins, cattle breeders and livestock dealers, and cotton buyers. In addition, various stores included furniture dealers, jewelers, grocery and dry goods establishments, and a blacksmith. The population of Byers remained steady throughout the 1920s, but by the 1930s, it began to drop. The town was incorporated by 1940. It had a population of 427 and thirty businesses shortly before World War II. In 1943 the Wichita Falls and Oklahoma Railway was abandoned. By the 1980s, twelve businesses remained in Byers. In 1980 and 1990, the population was 510. In 2000 the population was 517. Byers was one of the five school districts in Clay County; in 1990, its school had 136 students.”

PS. ☕ I am busy saving for a few upcoming Landscape Photography Trips to Namibia and a few local National Parks here in South Africa. The most important trip is honoring my promise to Dad to go back to Scotland and capture the beautiful landscapes and Puffins. Your help to make these trips a reality would be much appreciated in today’s economy.
The photos in the next few posts was taken on 18 January 2023. I went on a short recce walk to see what I can capture on my visit here.
Interesting facts about Byers, TX
“Byers is at the intersection of State Highway 79 and Farm Road 171, two miles south of the conjunction of the Red and Wichita rivers, fourteen miles north of Henrietta, and twenty miles northeast of Wichita Falls in northern Clay County. It was founded by two brothers, Anthony Walter and George Washington Byers, partners in a general store in Sherman and acquired over 30,000 acres of land in Clay County. There are several versions of how they acquired the land. One is that Mr. Acers, a large landowner in the area, bought barbed wire on credit with his land as collateral, and when he could not pay off his debt, the land was forfeited to the Byers brothers. The other story is that the Byers brothers traded their mercantile business in Sherman for land in Clay County.
Byers was established in 1904 when the Wichita Falls and Oklahoma Railway was completed from Wichita Falls to Byers. The brothers donated $15,000 of the $27,924 raised to complete the line. They subdivided their ranch, laid out town lots, and established the Tree Ranch. Because the railroad went three miles west of Benvanue, many residents moved their homes and businesses to Byers to access the railroad, which was completed through the community in June of 1904. Town lots went on sale on June 10. That year Byers received a post office with A. Harris, the owner of the first store in town, as postmaster. In 1905 Edgar P. Haney established the community’s first newspaper, the Byers Searchlight, to promote the district, its school, and the “Searchlight Town Band.”
By 1906 Byers was a sizable town. Its school had 115 pupils and two teachers, and the town had its first cotton gin. In 1914 the community had a population of 600, the First National Bank, a weekly newspaper named the Byers Herald, several cotton gins, cattle breeders and livestock dealers, and cotton buyers. In addition, various stores included furniture dealers, jewelers, grocery and dry goods establishments, and a blacksmith. The population of Byers remained steady throughout the 1920s, but by the 1930s, it began to drop. The town was incorporated by 1940. It had a population of 427 and thirty businesses shortly before World War II. In 1943 the Wichita Falls and Oklahoma Railway was abandoned. By the 1980s, twelve businesses remained in Byers. In 1980 and 1990, the population was 510. In 2000 the population was 517. Byers was one of the five school districts in Clay County; in 1990, its school had 136 students.”

I am genuinely grateful that I can travel through Texas and see all the beautiful landscapes and towns. I must admit that some of the towns do look like it is busy falling apart but for me, that just add more character to it.
My list of places and towns to visit is getting very long.
