Never the Same River Twice<\/h3>\n

March 18, 2017<\/p>\n

Out on Buffalo Bayou early this morning, Saturday, March 18, 2017, with photographer Jim Olive<\/a>. We were looking for our Spring 2017 shot of the same bend of the bayou we have been documenting for the last three years throughout the seasons. Flow was low base flow, about 150 cubic feet per second. Birds singing. Frogs burping. Squirrels quarreling. Warmth wafting off the water. Was foggier than Jim had hoped, and he had to be patient, as always, for just the right shot. We’d been waiting for a clear morning for days.<\/p>\n

For the entire series see A Bend in the River<\/a> under Photos and Films<\/a>. This scene is in the historic nature area targeted for destruction and “restoration”<\/a> by the Harris County Flood Control District, the Memorial Park Conservancy, and the Bayou Preservation Association.<\/p>\n

An update on that costly, misguided project,<\/a> which sadly still threatens, is coming up next.<\/p>\n
