On a ranch southwest of town, a family is out in the barn before sunrise, saddling up horses in the twilight in anticipation of some cow work that’s to come.  The participants of the Cowboys and Canyonlands photography workshop show up at sunrise, we exchange pleasantries with the family, and get to work.  

Just as soon as one Caddo Lake and East Texas Autumn nature photography workshop ends, the next one begins.  Mid-November is the ideal time to see fall colors at Caddo Lake. Upon the arrival of a new group, it’s not long before we are back at the lake, embracing an unusual autumn in an out-of-the-way place in East Texas.

As the water calms around us, the sky to the east starts to lighten.  First, pink tinges the wispy clouds floating through the eastern sky.  Soon, the sky gradiates from deep blue to orange.  On the Caddo Lake and East Texas Autumn nature photography workshop, scenes like this are common - and welcome.
