If you’ve visited this blog more than once, you probably know that I love Brazos Bend State Park. And I LOVE alligators. Strange, I know.
But an interesting new development from this last trip to the park uncovered a love for birds that I never knew I had.
Thanks to my amazing wife, this interest has been unlocked and given new life to the park I’ve been visiting for a decade.
I actually spent more time on this trip looking for different species of birds than with my alligator friends. Go figure!
Don’t get me wrong though, I still love my gators. But my appreciation and knowledge for the feathered fauna is growing.
I can’t wait to share this park with students and teach them the amazing nuances of nature/ wildlife photography at such a phenomenally bountiful and biologically diverse place.
We will also spend some time on time lapse and video… If you’re interested in learning more, visit my Brazos Bend workshops page.
Also, all images and video will be available for purchase as stock via Tandem Stills + Motion.
