An Afternoon In The Chaparral

Medina River Natural Area, El Chaparral / Greenway Trail

Today's photos:

There are two primary ecosystems in the Medina River basin as it crosses southern Bexar County. The river channel is riparian woodland. The upland area along both sides of the channel is chaparral, more commonly known here as the South Texas Brush Country. My walk this afternoon on the El Chaparral / Greenway Trail was through the upland brush country.

This is only a small sample of the photos I took today. Tomorrow's post will be part 2.
