Ten on Ten (aka - On the Road Again)


Since I was on Fall Break from school on Monday, 10-10-11, I decided to try the Ten on Ten idea again.  The last time I did it was...on 10-10-10!  Some of my pictures are not the greatest because I took them while...driving.   Please excuse the dirty windshield :)  And enjoy my pics!  (By the way, I wasn't exactly literal about the 10 consecutive hours - but the general gist is there!)

the idea - Ten on Ten

Take a photo every hour for ten consecutive hours on the tenth of each month. Document a day of your life and find beauty among the ordinary moments. Then share your beauty with us!

you can see more ten on ten participants here

Started the day as a house guest of Jenni!  I've signed her guest book many times :)

Started my driving in foggy weather - leftover from wonderful rain! - always depresses me a bit, but I just sang myself down the road.

The farther east I drove, the sun started peeking out....


My parent's house was a halfway pit stop for free! 
Good thing I have a garage door opener to their house since they were at work :)


And the sun finally shone bright! Unfortunately, because this part of Texas saw no rain :(

A log truck is a common sight if you drive roads of "deep" East Texas!
(I promise this picture is not as dangerous as it appears.)

Almost to my destination...anyone ever driven through? 
Hwy 21 is part of the "El Camino Real" - the Royal Road or King's Highway - read more here

The home I've driven to for much of my life to visit my grandparents.

We ate dinner in Nacogdoches - where the downtown historical district has these great brick streets.

But most of our visit was just chatting in these chairs :)  Thanks to my Me-Ma and Pa-Pa for a lovely visit.

A great day and even though some of it was in the car, it was made more enjoyable by looking for moments to capture.  If you blog, try it some month!

p.s. Post title song come from the Willie Nelson classic :)
