Brazos Bend is a series of constructed and natural marshes and coastal prairie south southwest of Houston near the Brazos River. It's renowned for its healthy American Alligator population, but also boasts a fairly wide ranging number of other species.
I make a point to go down every so often. I work halfway between the Park and my home so I have started visiting on weekday evenings, when the light is fantastic, and I have the run of the park. These are some shots from my last visit. The photography was so-so that day, but still worth the trip.

Algae-gator. (you see what I did there...)
Marsh Sunset/Fade to Black
Purple Haze Dragonfly
Evening Roost
Heron Silhouette, or (with apologies to the Bhagavad Gita) " I am become Death, the Devourer of...Worms"
(I liked the Shiva-kinda thing going on...like the heron is some sort of multi-limber harbinger of doom)
Anhinga at Sunset (or maybe cormorant, too far away, though beak looks like Anhinga)
Night Heron
Juvenile Raccoon
Couple more takes on the Marsh Sunset
More Birds
