Good day everyone.

I hope everyone is doing great. We had a late start this morning but are on our way now.

It’s my last week here in the USA. Emotions are all over the place at the moment.

Good morning everyone

It is raining cats and dogs at the moment. We are on our way to Wellington, TX. We still have 290 miles to go.

It has been a hectic week, with lots of long-distance traveling. I can’t believe it is Thursday already. Saturday, I will only have two weeks left here in the USA.

I have mixed feelings about going back. I miss my kids, family, friends, and my pets a lot. But I am dreading being apart from Christo for the five months before I return to the USA.

At least there is video calling….

Good day everyone

I hope you are all doing great and did not miss me too much.

I had a hectic week last week. I was exploring, editing, and organizing my laptop.

I will spend my last three weeks in the USA working with Christo.

We left home this morning at 7:00 AM.

Good morning friends

It is a beautiful cloudy morning here in Byers, TX. I had a good night’s rest. The past few nights, I have been coughing myself awake. Last night I decided to try some Cough medicine for the night. It worked like a charm.

Yesterday, I drove to Marlow, Duncan, Comanche, and Addington in Oklahoma. I did not explore Duncan because it is too big. I will have to allocate a whole day to explore it thoroughly.

I was so busy capturing the towns with my camera that I completely forgot to take photos with my cellphone. I only took one in Marlow….

I have a few upcoming projects here in the USA that will run over the next few years.

1. Water Tower Project

Yes, you guessed correct. With this projects I am going to capture all the Water Towers of the different towns I visit and explore here in the USA.

2. Wall Mural Project

As we drove through the small towns all over the USA, I have noticed murals on the walls of old buildings. I would like to document these beautiful artwork in the towns I visit and explore.

3. Fauna and Flora Project

As you all know this one lies very close to my heart. I love capturing nature and of course I would like to document it. For now I am just focusing on the animal and birds around the house and in our garden. When I return in August 2023 I will be venturing to other areas.

Good morning friends

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.

Good morning everyone

I am a bit late this morning. Sorry about that.

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.

Thank you for your ongoing support.

Good morning friends

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.

Good morning friends

I hope that you all had a good nights rest.

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.

Good evening friends

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.

Good morning friends

Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend.

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,carrots,chicken and flavoured rice.

Made enough for four meals. Today we are eating two

Chicken fillet blocks, vegetables, and pasta in white sauce

Mince 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.”

Good morning everyone

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.

Texas Adventures: Byers #18

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.”

Good Morning from Port of Keota

February 9, 2023Posted in Texas AdventuresTagged #capetownbasedphotographer, #coreenkuhnphotography, #galaxyS22, #landscapephotographer, #landscapephotography, #samsung, #texas2023, #Texasadventures, #Texasthroughmylens, #travelingtheworld, #travelphotographer, #travelphotography2 Comments

Good morning everyone

We had rain till the early morning hours. When we woke up this morning it was clear blue skies.

The views here at the port are stunning..

I am genuinely grateful that I can travel through Texas and see all the beautiful landscapes and towns.

Wishing everyone a lovely day.

Coreen

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.

Good morning everyone

It has been raining, and we had thunder ⚡ the whole night. We arrived in the pitch dark with heavy rain.

When we woke up this morning we had this beautiful view.

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.

Wishing everyone a lovely day.

We stopped for dinner and to fill the truck before we continued to our destination .

Chicken fried steak with mash and vegetables .

We made it to our destination just outside of Rio Vista. It was a wet and windy journey but we are safe.
