Leon Creek Greenway, Ingram Transit Center Trailhead

Wednesday, November 9, 2011

Today's photos:

The Ingram Transit Center trailhead is on Ingram Rd across the street (Northwestern Dr) from Ingram Park Mall. Until the next segment of the greenway is complete, this is the southern most trailhead on the Leon Creek Greenway, so the only direction to walk is north. Today I walked to the halfway sign between the Ingram and Grissom Rd trailheads.

As is typically the case, the photos tell the story in themselves. I will note that a cold front blew through yesterday afternoon. There was a stiff north wind and it was a bit cooler than what I would call "brisk." The sky was partly cloudy when I began the walk, but within a half hour, had become overcast. Near the end of the walk, a light misty drizzle (that hadn't been forecast) began to fall with widely scattered light showers nearby. Numerous rain shafts could be seen in the distance.

Depending on the angle of light, rain shafts can be difficult to photograph. I point this out because, in the event there is any doubt, the last photo in the above series is the result of an attempt to photograph one of the shafts of rain.
