Doc Ed's Excellent Field Trip Adventure

Here's a view from the drainage area of the Edwards Aquifer region high up in the majestic Texas hill country. We were standing on rock dating back one hundred million years to Cretaceous era. During that time Texas was covered by a shallow sea. As we walked in this area there were fossil shells just lying there. Pretty amazing and all near densely populated areas like the town of Wimberly. This was one stop of several we made on our field trip today. If I learned anything today is how much development has occurred and continues on to this day on top of what is our water supply for our part of Texas. But just as important was learning there are a good many folk that protect the natural beauty of our state. I'll post more photos during the course of the week.
