I hope you're enjoying a nice Memorial Day with a chance to reflect on the things in life that we enjoy because others have fallen for our freedom. I made this on an evening on the Devils River from the seat of my kayak. Sitting there taking in this beauty with only the sounds of the birds and the lapping of water against my kayak was a perfect time to reflect and be thankful.

Who says Texas doesn't have nice fall colors just hasn't looked in the right place. Although many of the fall colors were past their prime in many parts of Martin Dies Jr State Park during our visit, there were still some pockets. I made this in the early afternoon on a cloudy drizzly day. Shot this across the water from where we were camped and narrowed my focus down to just this area. The one stark tree that appears have met it's demise added just the right drama I was looking for and made the scene. Sometimes you just have to know where to look. The big picture can be great, but sometimes a more narrowed focus makes the image. Photo by Steve Coyle Photography (www.stevecoylephotography.com)
One of the park roads in Martin Dies Jr State Park. With fall comes fewer campers as the kids are back in school and on this particular weekend it was fairly wet and dreary. All the leaves on the road gave it the feeling that no one had been there in quite a while. Photo by Steve Coyle Photography (www.stevecoylephotography.com)
