Growing up in Bandera

Here in the fall season when the pecans are dropping the deer and humans get to join in to gather their share of what the squirrels have already been hoarding for weeks.

I no longer harvest any pecans from my two trees in the yard as I prefer to let the animals do as nature intended. I will even kick some to the flat rock walkways to step on and crush so the birds can join in.

In the city park just above the river near the dam area there is a huge pecan tree that holds precious memories of time spent with the love of my life before we were married.
