Alone at the Lake

Here’s an image I took a few months back at Buescher State Park near Smithville, Texas. This is another of those locations that I return to month after month but not for the reasons you might think. Park Road 1 runs between Buescher and Bastrop State Parks for 15 miles of up-hill and down-hill S-curves, through some of the most beautiful pine forest you’d never expect to see in central Texas. In the spring and fall it’s the prettiest Texas drive this side of the Pecos river.
