By the Buffalo

Somewhere in the Hill Country of Texas, we ran across some buffalo trying to graze on nearly non-existant grass. Had not rain there in about two years. Just outside the fence area were these beautiful wildflowers.

As I took the picture of the Mexican Hats and the purple flowers (haven't found out what they are yet), I thought about the old saying, "The grass is greaner on the otherside."

Momma always told me that saying was an old wives tale and not to be believing it. However, I think in this, as I looked at the barren and rocky ground the buffalo was trying to find a nibble or two, in this case I think, Momma, the saying is true.
