There’s nothing quite like springtime in Texas, but one of the best things about travel is it reminds us that there’s nothing quite like home, either.

Here’s a link to my Portage County Gazette column for March 23, with a few extra pictures thrown into the gallery below. Most of them are from Cameron Park and the Riverwalk area in downtown Waco, Texas. The flowers are from a field near Temple.  The last one is just somewhere in the heart of Texas.

Author’s note: the photo gallery doesn’t seem to be working correctly on my browser (Chrome on Windows 10) right now.  My other posts seemed OK until a minute ago. Seems fine on my smartphone, but I’m going to check this out. If you’re having issues viewing the gallery properly, please leave me a note in the comment section.
