Photos by Bill Arbon : on the map, in Google Earth (KML)

Do you know who took this picture? I take it that by historic, you mean you didn't. But you don't say that. So did you take it? It's a great picture. The rise was about 45 feet according to the LCRA. Higher nearly by half than the several floods we've had since.

Thanks

Well, I didn't say it was life sized! Thanks for looking. I see most people don't want to look;-) 'cause its a snake! Hope you took a look at all my other photos! Thanks again

Effects of herbicide spraying on LBJ NHP Settlement. Note that the zone of application spreads across a spring fed stream that flows to Town Creek in Johnson City.

Frostweed is and important food for migrating Monarch butterflies. The LBJ National Historical Park has an important group of these plants that they are currently trying to eradicate because these plants, though native and non-invasive, do not fit their scheme of prairie restoration for the 12 acres of the Settlement they are putting herbicide on. If they have not been treated with poison, they are mowed down for path maintenance. This is the flowering plant seen in the photo of the Monarch butterflies during.

Thank you. Nature's artwork.

Remains of 100 year old pecan tree recently removed by NPS for 'prairie restoration'. Area around tree has been treated with herbicides to kill 'unwanted' grasses
