When the Moon Hits the Fan
I don't abstract much. Every once in a blue (or in this case, a black and white) moon, I get the yin for a little abstraction. This was taken in front of the Nature Center of Brazos Bend State Park early enough in the morning that the moon was still visible in the cloudless sky. Thought it might just be an interesting black and white.
Is it Spring yet? I began my now ritual treks to outdoor locales during the Fall and have yet to see my favorite spots in the Spring. Can't wait until Spring.
A little blurb about Brazos Bend State Park:
Brazos Bend State Park, a 5,000-acre gem on the Upper Texas Coast, is just 40 miles from downtown Houston and offers a wide variety of activities for every age: biking, fishing, hiking, birding, camping, star-gazing, and opportunities to learn about Texas’ bountiful natural history via free programs and guided hikes.
The park’s scenic terrain has been carved gently over time by the vigorous Brazos River, which marks its eastern boundary. Fragments of the ancient coastal prairie survive here as do dense bottomland hardwood forests and extensive marshes, making ideal habitats for the American alligator and a rich diversity of other reptiles, amphibians, and mammals. The park is an important refuge for birds, with more than 300 species recorded, and wildflowers abound during the warmer months, drawing a wealth of butterflies.
