Brazos Bend State Park is home to alligators, the telescope I posted a little while back, and extensive wetlands. There are also very large numbers of dead trees like this one scattered around the swamps. I am not sure why only the trees on dry land seem to be alive.

Beautiful picture, Martin. It almost looks like No. California or Oregon. I'll have to go visit the park and maybe see if I can get a picture of an alligator!
LOL at Red Pen's comment. I definitely can see the conductor with his batons!
I guess this is different than the bogs we saw on Vancouver Island, Martin. Maybe only certain trees can withstand the wetlands and not get bogged down!
Certain trees die of too much water (drown) while certain others flourish. In our dry country we have many manmade dams. The dammed water then fill an area where previously normal plant growth existed. As a result most of our dams also have a number of dead trees sticking out of the water. Birds like it and fishermen hate it.
Great capture, with the path and the tree contrasting the green and blue.
