Walking Into 2013

Today's walk was a very good beginning for the year. I didn't take as many photos as I otherwise would have given the cold, damp, overcast weather, but this set of photos is a very effective representation of the experience.

As we move further into autumn, the sun traverses the sky at an increasingly lower angle. Shadows deepen and fill the dry creek beds in late afternoon. Edges soften. Even if the temperatures warm into the low 80s (F), there is no mistaking the season. The angle and quality of light define autumn in South Texas

Butterflies, Rippling Water, And So Much More

I'm not sure why, but I was a bit surprised by the number of butterflies fluttering about along the trail today. It seemed like everywhere I looked there was a butterfly waiting to be photographed. When I stopped to take a photo of the prickly pear cactus next to the purple flowers, as soon as I focused the lens, a butterfly landed on the flowers.
Also, I found the number of pools of water along the creek bed a bit surprising. Water remains a longer period of time in pools where the creek bed has eroded to solid limestone. Apparently, there is more exposed bedrock limestone in this section of Salado Creek than I was aware of previously.
The four "abstract" photos in this series are actually reflections of trees on one of these pools with the camera lens focused on the surface ripples on the water, not on the reflections.
