Texas mushrooms


Watertowers are mushrooming across the suburban ranchland of Dallas. They are a sign of the fast development up here. They also serve as useful landmarks in the open landscape.
I've always been fascinated by watertowers. Ever since my toddler years in Brielle which boasts a beautiful black and white tower.


The water in Texas hold is not the best I've ever tasted. Water is pumped from a large number of lakes throughout North Texas. It has an earthy/musty flavor and odor due to algae decay in the raw water source.


The good news is that there's enough of it. This year has been one of the wettest on record, turning Dallas in a green and leafy place.
