"I am forced to conclude that God made Texas on his day off, for pure entertainment, just to prove that all that diversity could be crammed into one section of earth by a really top hand." - Author Mary Lasswell

Yes, Texas is a big and very diverse state. One could spend a lifetime exploring the riches it has to offer and perhaps someday I'll get to it all. For now though, I'm content to be overwhelmed by the natural beauty the Central Texas region has to offer. With the Hill Country to the west and rich farm land to the east, there's no shortage of photographic opportunities for those who love the natural landscape and the occasional old barn or farmhouse.

This is your opportunity to visit forgotten places that aren't on any map. Places that must be sought after with an adventurous spirit and a bit of luck. To chance upon the perfect scene bristling with light and beauty can make any amount of searching worth the effort. It's also an opportunity to experience the peaceful wonder that's so abundant in this area. Places where the stresses and problems of daily life start to dissolve and then disappear completely.

This is Local Texas. Not just a state but a state of mind, beauty, and adventure.
