When I arrived at Government Canyon in the early morning (around 7:00) last Sunday, I was greeted at the visitor’s entrance by a batch of Texas Walking Sticks. They were just hanging around enjoying the cool morning. They are a very curious creature.
Government Canyon has profited from a bit of rain this past week. More flowers are in bloom, especially the yellow cactus flowers. And it is beginning to heat up a bit. Thankfully they open at 7:00 AM now and that really helps.
