Texas in March - Must See Sites?

We'll be doing a lengthy road trip in March, mostly exploring Texas.

Would appreciate some tips on photo sites that should not be missed.

I'm into all sorts of photography, including nature, landscapes,
architectural, candids and abstracts.

Thanks!!

If you are in Northeast Texas (Texarkana) on Mar. 19-21, a 30 minute
drive East on IH 30 to Old Washington State Park via Hope Ark. will be
well worth the drive.

This is the annual Jonquil Festival. Info can be found at the below
url..

This is where the original Bowie knife was made..and during the Civil
War was the Capital of Arkansas...

The Johnson Space Center an hour southeast of Houston has some
incredible sights, especially the enormous Saturn moon rocket lying on
its side, bigger than a 25 story building.

Thanks for the tips everyone. Will let you know how it goes...

No one hit on my favs.

For beaches and birds (March is good time for shorebirds in Texas)
North Padre Island near Corpus Christi.
South Padre Island - further drive, via Brownsville
Matagorda Island State park - beach with very little public access.
Enchanted Rock State Park - big, pink granite monolith.
Big Bend National Park - what can one say, fantastic scenics

Birds -
Hans Suiter Marsh in Corpus Christi
Santa Ana National Wildlife Refuge

Great list John, thanks a million!

Here's a photo gallery of things to see in SOUTH TEXAS:

Good luck!

Pete, don't forget San Antonio. A number of old missions here,
beautiful photo possibilities. The Alamo is most famous but I
prefer the small, old missions mainly on the south side of town.
Simple but beautiful.
