Most photographers come to Brazos Bend State Park in Texas for the wildlife. I do that too, but I also come to this place for the landscape photo ops. On this particular morning, I left home at a little before 7AM to arrive at 40-Acre Lake by 7:30; just in time for some nice morning light. This is the observation/fishing pier. Fishing is free here, but no boating or swimming is allowed (note the sign regarding alligators, of which I saw several).
Where The Trails Take You Photography 
Lovely. And you gave the time…I’ve always been curious how early in the AM your AM photos are taken. I’m so not a morning person, but I know morning light is good. It’s a conundrum.
