Most of Texas is not flat and boring. The brown during the Winter part is because we are in a temperate climate.

There's nothing that comes even remotely to being that green in the rest of the continental US during the winter. If you want green in the winter, that is where to go.

By the way, these hills are brown in the summer! It's totally reverse to what the East Coast experiences.

California is not relative to this thread or forum. Take your state & people back to where they belong.

Thanks

Like I said, just a little education is all I'm offering. People are on here acting like winter brown is all there is. I wanted to show there's something more out there.

It also helps explain to Texans why Californians complain about the scenery here.

Although the scenery in Texas is a bit depressing at times in the winter, nothing beats Hill Country wildflowers in the spring. We do have some beautiful times of the year here.

Beautiful pictures and I agree; however, there is something nice about the dead winter look. Sort of a mysterious creepy appeal; especially when it's foggy.

Californians seem to do a lot of complaining over here in the Tx forums.
