Hikers, birders and wildlife-watchers have over seven miles of trails to enjoy at LLELA. LLELA is positioned where Blackland Prairie mingles with the dry upland forests of the Eastern Cross Timbers. The Elm Fork of the Trinity River, with its surrounding bottomland forests, winds through the middle of these two ecosystems.
We are planning a trip to the Santa Clara Ranch. A visit to this ranch is always a treat. There are lots of birds! They have four in-ground blinds overlooking a small pond with feeding stations and two elevated blinds to photograph raptors.
Rocky Mountain elk, herds of free-roaming American bison and long horn cattle plus North American river otters, black-tailed prairie dogs, colorful “Mountain Bomer” lizards, and the black-capped vireo.

To photograph is to hold one’s breath, when all faculties converge to capture fleeting reality. It’s at that precise moment that mastering an image becomes a great physical and intellectual joy.
