Location: Just off Texas 142 at Boggy Creek, where the Blackland Prairie meets the edge of the Hill Country
Description: “Summertime, and the livin’ is easy…” A sea of cotton stretches beneath an open Texas sky on August 17, 2024, along the Blackland Prairie — where the rich soils kisses the eastern edge of the Hill Country. Just east of I-35, this field reflects the enduring agricultural roots and rural beauty still present in one of the nation’s fastest-growing regions.
