The Red River of the South  by louannwarren

The Red River of the South

This river runs from the Texas Panhandle to Arkansas and Louisiana. It defines the border between Oklahoma and Texas. In 1821 it was the border between America and Mexico, that changed in 1845 with the Texas Annexation when the Rio Grande River became the border between the two countries. It got it’s name from the red-bed country of it’s water shed in the Panhandle and is one of the longest rivers in the South. We crossed over it going to Oklahoma Saturday. This is another 70 mph photo, smile.

Great shot (at great speed ) - love the colour palette of the blue trees in contrast to the red soil

Gorgeous colours and impressed with your high speed photography. My folks did a road trip across the USA and every photo was taken from the car and there was no hiding that fact!

Wonderful warm & earthy colours, a great feel of the places on your travels!

Fantastic capture of the Red River while crossing over into Oklahoma! I always enjoy this scene when we're driving to/from Canada...this is the route we usually take from Texas to Manitoba. :-)

Great capture of the red bed country!

Very striking shot Lou Ann, that rust of the dirt pops out of the photo

That's a darn good on-the-move shot - love the red earthy color against the blue of the river. Guess the only time I've been in Texas was a trip to Galveston back in 1968 - just before I started teaching.

@summerfield Awww, wouldn’t that be something?! Actually there are several Red Rivers in America, it would be fun to know which one is in that song!

The contrasting colors are so beautiful together. Lovely landscape image!
