Fall in the Swamp
Well, not fall in the swamp literally - that's fall as in the season. Believe it or not, this is a lake. The ground looks deceptively land-like doesn't it? This is Elm Lake in Brazo's State Park, and it is beautiful in its own marshy way. Though, it is not recommended for swimming unless you'd like to have an up close and personal encounter with an alligator.
So happy that I finished my last project today. And with that, I am closing up shop for the year (what is left of it) and will only take those gigs that appeal to me. I may collaborate with an upstart web based fashion consignment business with product shots and stock shots - which totally appeals to me.
A little blurb about the viewing platform I was on:
This 240 square-foot, fully ADA accessible platform located at the lakeside in the Elm Lake picnic area, will elevate visitors above one of the park’s largest lakes, giving them an increased opportunity to view various species of wildlife including birds engaging in the their daily activities. A future addition to the platform will consist of identification panels of common bird species. The platform’s elevation will also make it easier to view basking alligators on nearby islands, not normally within view from ground level. The platform compliments the Creekfield Lake All-Access Interpretive Trail, plus the Elm Lake and 40-Acre Lake Trail System in providing nature viewing opportunities for all. Handicap-accessible fishing piers, picnic areas, and campsites are also available to park visitors.
Brazos Bend State Park is a 5,000-acre “island of natural diversity” southwest of Houston that managed by Texas Parks & Wildlife Department to conserve natural and cultural resources, provide recreational and educational opportunities, and fosters an understanding of the diversity of Texas' lands and heritage for all generations.
