LORENZO RUIZ, UNA NAMING MARTIR

Lorenzo Ruiz una naming martir
Totoong kay rami ng pagtutunggali
Sa buong buhay mo
Halos di mawari, makailang ulit muntik na magapi Ngunit nakaraos ng maluwalhati. Pananampalataya di mo itinatwa
Nanindigan kang Kristyano sa diwa
At napatunayang kahit sa gawa
Mga naghihirap sa’yo ay namangha.
Ng ika’ pinilit na iyong talikdan
Pananampalatayang iyong kinagisnan
Buong tatag man din na ‘yong tinuran
Ako ay Kristyano at handang mamatay
Libu-libong buhay kung may’ron man ako
Sa Panginoong Diyos ay ihahandog ko.

Hamilton Pool Preserve nature

Hamilton Pool Preserve Nature

24300 Hamilton Pool Rd  Dripping Springs, TX 78620 (512) 264-2740

 Hamilton Pool Nature Preserve consists of 232 acres of protected natural habitat featuring a jade green pool into which a 50-foot waterfall flows. Formed long ago by the collapse of a large grotto (cave) into Hamilton Creek, the pool is surrounded by huge slabs of limestone that rest by the water's edge; large stalagtites grow from the ceiling high above. The ceiling and surrounding cliffs of the grotto are home to moss, maidenhair fern and cliff swallows. The Ashe juniper (cedar) uplands of the preserve are home to the endangered golden-cheeked warbler. A complete checklist of the Birds of Hamilton Pool is available.

----------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Since the 1960's, Hamilton Pool has been a favorite summer swimming spot for Austin visitors and residents. The natural pool and creek are not chemically treated, so water quality is monitored regularly and swimming is occasionally restricted; call ahead to check conditions before your visit. Note: There are no lifeguards on duty, and drinking water and concessions are not available. Composting toilets and picnic tables are provided near the parking lot. Since Hamilton Pool is a nature preserve, the following rules apply: no fishing, mountain biking, camping, dogs or other pets. Cooking and fires are also not permitted.

 ======================================================================== --> -->

In addition to swimming and picnicking, hiking and nature study opportunities are also available at the preserve. Visitors making the .5-mile (round-trip) hike to the pool begin at the parking lot and descend into a narrow box canyon featuring impressive rock outcrops, bald cypress, lush plant life and peacefully flowing Hamilton Creek. The right fork of the trail junction, located by the creek, leads upstream to Hamilton Pool and the 50-foot waterfall, while the left fork (Canyon Trail, 3/4 mile) leads downstream to Hamilton Creek's confluence with the Pedernales River. Be advised that the Canyon Trail, and occasionally the entire preserve, may be closed to visitors after periods of heavy rain. Guided nature tours are available every Sunday at 10 AM or by appointment; call the park for reservations.
