Houston Zoo 2017 with the Bigger Cahoona - Cypress Knees

Tried many times to capture a pic such as this out in nature, but suppose nothing can beat the controlled conditions in a zoological garden.

This shot was taken next to the Cypress Circle Cafe, which has remained exactly the same for the fifty-plus years I've been visiting the zoo.  No more, though; the area is now under renovation and will be updated and modernized, a change for the better in the works...
