A Varied Memorial Day Weekend

Central Texas is doing its part to minimize our drought.  Rain has been a constant presence the last few days.   As with any weather situation, there are positives and negatives to consider.   The good thing, however, is most of Saturday was perfect spending time outdoors on this unofficial summer kickoff weekend.    The waterfall at San Gabriel Park was good for a family determined to catch some crawfish, which they did!  For others, it was a place to cool off.   Lake Georgetown was a good place for a grandfather to spend quality time with his grandkids, fishing an almost-full lake.   And the wildflowers are still going strong at Berry Springs Park and Preserve.  After a night of heavy rain, we experienced some flooding.  The last three photos in this post are views of the San Gabriel River, where County Road 100 was closed to traffic, but apparently not to two guys with their floats.  Thankfully, they had on life preservers.   The last photo is an overview of that same river, at San Gabriel Park late Sunday afternoon.
