Under the stars at Brazos Bend State Park

We went to Brazos Bend State Park on October 17 for Thomas's work party.  This state park is a little less than an hour away from Houston and is know for the alligators and the observatory.  We fortunately didn't see any alligators, but we did get to see the observatory and gaze at the billions of twinkling stars.  Living in Houston its hard to see all the beautiful stars due to the bright city lights, but at this park the stars were stunning.  I, of course took my camera and tripod and took some pictures of the stars.  In fact I had been wanting for a while to take pictures of the stars.  I just needed to get away from the big city.  This was the perfect opportunity.

Love the reflection off the pond
In this pic you can see some of the milky way

Billions of stars

I did take some pictures of the girls before the sun set:

  1. Beautiful pics! Makes me want to go buy a better camera & equipment!

    I've followed your blog for a while now and can't believe how the girls have grown. Kayla looks like such a "big girl" in that last picture!
