A rural wetlands part of my hometown, in suburban Houston! Taken in December. And my 1st ever post here of my hometown. You've seen my travel photos and you've seen my new city Kirov, Russia. So here is suburban Houston :). And some of the beautiful wetlands and marshes! I grew up and lived almost all my life in the crowded suburbs, but this park is a quite rural and isolated part! Quite idyllic :). It's at the Armand Bayou Nature Center in southeast Houston. I was home for the holidays and my dad and I went to the park :). I haven't been to this park in many years! It's surreal how much wilderness is here, as it's in the middle of a typical American suburb. Albeit one with a lot of history and economic importance (NASA, oil refineries, etc).. It was a peaceful late autumn walk! Even though it is technically the winter season ;). But autumn begins & finishes late here!

And I love the scene here with the red marsh! One of my favorite parts of the park! And so much other great wetlands! The 2,500-acre (10 km2) nature center is the largest urban wilderness preserve in the United States. Founded in 1974, the center consists of a boardwalk through forest and marshes, live animal displays, bison and prairie platforms and butterfly gardens.

5/5 Excellent

"Stay was nice. Rooms were clean. If you’re staying in the third floor, ask to be moved because there are rooms where the room keys do not work on the door. We didn’t tell anyone until after our stay but the attendant at the check-in table was nice. "

"If your on vacation this is perfect spot, everything you wanna do is walking distance..and if your going other places transportation is easy to get...what I didn't like is that to park it cost 20 dollars a day,don't believe it tells you that I think it says parking available..my thought is parking should be included in the price and a parking ticket be given at check in to be used during your stay..staff was awesome the whole experience was fantastic..we will be back.."
