Many thanks to Susan for sponsoring this day, so we can enjoy beautiful outdoor pictures.
Hamilton Pool is a bit of a drive out to the countryside west of Austin, Texas. It requires a steep hike "in" and an equally steep hike back "out"... but the trip is SO worth the effort. This pool and collapsed grotto was formed by thousands of years of water erosion; and when we are not in a drought, a 50 foot waterfall spills over the top of this canyon. Before the 1800's, Native Americans lived in this natural shelter because its water and lush plant life; and its beauty no doubt.
Happy Outdoor Wednesday.

Beautiful spot...thanks for sharing with us...
What a refreshing outdoor post.
This does look interesting. We visit Austin often - our eldest daughter is there. I'll bet the pool is a great way to beat the heat. Thanks so much for sharing these pictures with us.
This reminds me of a place we have here in Ga. It's a long hike as well.. and well worth it once there. Thanks for sharing.
Hugs,
Debbie

Oh Barbara!
I loved this post. I can here the birds wings as they pass by. I could hear the water ripple down from the rocks. I could even smell the surrounding. So clean. So beautiful. Thanks for the wonderful post. A beautiful ending to my day. Hope you will stop by Country Wings in Phoenix again as well. "Country Hugs", Sherry
