When you have more than 75,000 photos of the great state of Texas, you should really share them. I love black and white photos but I use a digital camera. I thought it would be nice to choose some of my favorites and make them black and white. I hope you enjoy these pictures of the Lone Star State. God Bless Texas!

Official World Headquarters of How Big is Texas

Of course, the Official World Headquarters of How Big is Texas had to be included in this post. While I prefer it in color, it is just as fabulous in black and white.

So here’s to Texas and the beauty that is found across the Lone Star State. I hope you continue to travel so you can enjoy her loveliness.

Until next time from Texas…safe travels
