Drought Devastation in Texas

It is amazing to see what the drought has done to Texas.
This was taken at Cypress Creek Park where the water is about 1/2 mile from the piers. The park was closed.

BUCHANAN DAM

  The dam is  very sad fact of the devastation of the drought that is going on in Texas. Where I was walking I should have been swimming.
