Katy City Limits

Exploring Outside The City Limits

We love living in 'Katy City Limits' - this little city west of Houston has much to offer.  But, sometimes we want to leave the city limits and explore. When that happens, one of my favorite websites for ideas is Texas Day Tripper. Check it out...... 

Carol King is a photographer and artist who provides her musings about the roads she explores. You can also find her on Facebook

Texas Day Tripper on Facebook.  Would like to get her to Katy ....opportunity for great photos.
