A little trip

We are in Grand Prairie Texas at Loyd park on Joe Pool lake. Just wanted a short trip in order to just get out of the house. We brought our kayaks and my art gear as well as the three dogs. Need a bit more breeze but its not really too bad for Texas in August.  We have a great spot with nice shade and very close to the water. There are almost no people here, a nice part of being retired and camping during the week and not weekends. This is a very well maintained park and a special bonus is that it is so close to home. We took a great kayak run this morning on a wonderful little paddle trail they have   Beautiful scenery, lots of egrets, and calm water. Nice!  Then I took advantage of a little painting time before lunch. Started a painting of our first  little yorkie. Zoe, who died about 2 1/2 years ago.

The pups in their little "yard". Emma loves to fuss at the ducks around. 

And this is a view from the beach by our campsite. Like being alone in the wilderness.
