Walk on the Trinity.....

We started early, picking our way to the banks of the River through a 'bottom land' full of towering oak.   The trees of the river include sycamores, willows and oak... and many trees of yore - evidenced only by stubs, logs, piles of flotsam - from forests miles above. 

We are amidst a remarkable drought in Texas, and the river is low.    Allowing us to walk on the river bank next to the water for several miles. 

The river is maligned in Texas - loosing notoriety to the Brazos and the Colorado -- but a walk reveals the natural beauty of the flow - and the many critters that rely on it.
