Observations On A Field Trip

I am fortunate to have a close friend who owns a gorgeous riverfront property near San Antonio.
I visited last weekend and we walked down to the river.  I grew up in Kansas where the rivers had water that looked a lot like cappuccino:  very muddy water.  It never ceases to amaze me when I see the crystal clear, aquamarine color of the water here.

I adore the Cypress trees that line the banks of this river.
limestone lines the edge of my friend's property.
I love looking at all the contours and cracks in it.
How does a plant manage to grow out of the center of this rock?
Near the river's edge a cardinal take a bath
Even if they are considered to be a nuisance by many,
these thistle blossoms are lovely.
