South side of Elm Lake. Shooting into the sun gives it that glowing look.

BBSP looks different every time I go because much if it is covered in water which varies in depth and coverage with weather and season. This time was no exception and that's why I keep coming back.

Brazos Bend has Bottomland Hardwoods, Coastal Praire and Wetlands Environments with transitions between all three.



And Lots of Snakes!

 

But this was a friendly King Snake.
