You must live around Fredericksburg. My sister and I used to take our 5 boys to climb Enchanted Rock every year or so. It helped to burn up a lot of energy. LOL
It is hard to beat the Hill Country, anywhere along the Guadalupe river is awesome and relaxing. My favorite getaway for years now. Nice shots Lindaca.
I prefere not to shoot landscapes mid day. The couple of hours after sunrise and the couple of hours before sunset are best. Your lighting during the golden hours make everything look good.
