Hereford, Texas

Hereford-5

I have always loved the colors of the thistles!

Hereford-4

Horses are beautiful creatures!

I went on a nice drive from Canyon, Texas west through Hereford and on to Clovis, New Mexico. It was a beautiful day and I enjoyed seeing all the ranches, cattle, and agriculture fields. Some communities seemed to be thriving and others seems a little bleak.

Hereford-6

These two trains going in opposite directions were VERY LOUD and the ground was shaking as they roared through town!

I stopped several times along the route to take some photos. One of my favorite stops was to enjoy the thistles in bloom and the horses grazing in the fields.

Hereford-2

Although I saw quite a few cattle, I did not know that Hereford, Texas was the beef capital of the world!

Hereford-3

For Memorial Day weekend, the flags looked very colorful and nice!

I was impressed with the power and sound of the trains going through towns. Two trains were passing each other during the photo of me and it was LOUD!

Hereford-1

The trains move quickly through town!
