My little slice of heaven is a place called Fayette County Texas. Its about halfway between Houston and Austin and if you get off on the back roads you will see rolling countryside, small towns that havent changed in decades and in the spring miles and miles of bluebonnets and indian paintbrush. There are painted churches, old metal bridges and bucolic pastures interspersed with stands of trees. I used to ride my bike out there all the time and now just drive the roads in my truck, but I never get tired of going there to visit the cemeteries, photograph the farmhouses and just drink in the peace and quiet. It was mostly settled by German and Czech peoples and has a lot of that culture in the area.
