The San Antonio River, Park Segment, In the Light of Day

Today's photos:

The last time I walked the park segment of the San Antonio River on Wednesday, July 20 it was very late in the evening. As a matter of fact, the sun had set by the time I returned to the car. The light was getting rather faint to say the least. I returned to the park segment today while the sun was still high in the sky.

This section of the river flows through Brackenridge Park. Today I walked between Mulberry Ave and E Woodlawn Ave along the west side of the Brackenridge Park Golf Course service road.

It is a section of the river that has not been channelized for flood control, so, as much as is possible in the center of major urban development, it has retained its natural stream bed characteristics. However, there are a lot of invasive species in the area, the chinaberry trees being among the more prolific. Fortunately, the native elms still predominate.

Beyond that, I will, once again, let the photos tell their own story.
