Had a wonderful several days at Garner State Park, Texas, where we reflected in nature on the immense blessing in our lives. The season provided a splendid variety of light, a foggy morn’, color on the Cypress trees, a dazzlingly clear calm evening for a North Star and rotation shot, and all-around pleasing to the eyes experience. Highly recommend Garner State Park (especially November).

Absolutely amazing! What a perfect place to stop and give thanks. I want to go there next Thanksgiving!
Thanks y’all, I am glad you received some joy from the images – we certainly enjoyed our Thanksgiving.
These pictures are absolutely beautiful!! Amazing work!!
David and I talked about how good these came out last night. He was right.. they’re wonderful, Andy roo!
Thanks Cayla (and David). It would be really fun to do a reunion of our “Junction Experience” somewhere sometime soon.
How crowded was the park at Thanksgiving? We always camp over Thankgiving but try to avoid overly crowded parks.
Hi Malinda, thanks for looking at my images/blog. The park does get very crowded before and during Thanksgiving but if you stay in the “rustic” parts, i.e. no RV’s, there is usually plenty of space and peace.
