Armand Bayou | Wednesday Mar 23, 2011

Last week I visited Armand Bayou Nature Center in a southern suburb of Houston. Founded in 1974 ABNC is one of the largest urban wilderness preserves in the United States with 2500 acres of land. The Center has a boardwalk, four nature trails, animal displays, butterfly gardens, an 1800's farm site and bison. I am not a nature girl, but I enjoyed my day out there. It started out cloudy with a nice breeze so it wasn't too hot and the clouds parted right before I went home.

Love these photos and I had no idea there was such a beautiful, large, well-preserved bayou in Houston.

Me either! And that's sad because I've lived here for 16 years. This is the first time I've been here. It is a lovely place, even for me who prefers the concrete canyons of the city.
