Who Will Photograph the Photographers? A
Seasonal Note by Brewster Hudspeth |

body language for wildflower photography. TE photo, April 2010 |
Located on the La
Bahia Trail (presently designated as FM
390), the small park is just west of Independence,
Texas. Consisting of just a few acres, which include the ruins of the old
women’s dormitory, the park usually has wildflowers throughout the year, but especially
in the Spring.
You can have the run of the place during the summer, but
it’s a different story during wildflower season.
This collection of photos was taken during our Friday afternoon visit – or two
circles around the park’s centerpiece Live Oak trees.
Our (Mexican) hats
are off to these adventures who were smart enough to get a jump on weekend visitors.
Although we normally don’t include candid photographs in our content, everyone
was having such a good time, we got caught up in the moment.
If you’re
reading this after April and feel you’ve missed the peak of the season, be assured
that both park and trail
can entertain year-round.
