Memo: Historical Texas Scenery

On the principle that a picture is worth a thousand words, I hereby post a scattering of pictures taken by me in various locations around San Antonio, Gonzales and Goliad, as well as some representative landscapes of the coastal more-or-less-flatlands.

Countryside with oak tree and wildflower meadow – South of San Antonio. No desert.

Low rolling hills and a line of trees a little north of San Antonio. No desert here.

Historical reenactors outside the Goliad Citadel. Trees and green grass, scattered with flowers. No desert here, either.

Low hill with cemetery, just outside Gonzales. Note absence of steep desert canyons.

From the top of the citadel wall at Goliad. No desert.

Countryside, slightly to the north of Goliad. No desert.

Hoping that you will take this to heart, upon scouting for appropriate outdoor locations for a drama focusing on the events of 1835-1836 in Texas, and that any particularly dry and desert-appearing locations will be crossed off the list.

I remain as always,

Celia Hayes/ Sgt. Mom
