Nice country. I remember leaving Steve's house and heading west to Vegas on I-10

Lots of good pics. Reminded me of the show Frozen Planet for some reason? probably seeing the animals & the countryside just brought it to mind. Very cool watching what Mother Nature has hidden away all over the world!

What part of Texas is west Texas? 

[Steve Wood]

depends on whom you ask...we call where I live, west Texas.  Geographically, however, it is central.

The canyon pictures are from Palo Duro Canyon which is near Amarillo in the Pan Handle.  Some of the others are from the big ranches couple of hundred miles north of me around Lubbock and back to the west.  Some may be further west toward El Paso as there is some very rugged country out that way.

See a little of what's in those pictures here Steve but not on as large of a scale. The kind of diversity that adds to the quality of life IMO. If you drive through Oklahoma going East to West (or West to East for Zap types) one thing that you will notice is that I-35 divides the topography from arid plains to eastern woodlands.
I used to live in Shawnee OK which is 30 miles East of I-35 and now live about the same distance West of I-35. The climate and landscape is noticeably different between the two cities.

stays that way here...I35 runs right down the Edward Plateau, or as we call it, the hill country.  I am on the west side...dry and arid

I think some of the pics were from the Waggoner Ranch which is SW of Oklahoma City just across the border into Texas.  It was founded in the mid 1800's.  Others were on the Four Sixes Ranch which is close to Lubbock.

Those ranches are known for cattle and quarter horses.
