The severe drought of 2011 has significantly impacted Texas. You have probably seen news reports on TV, read about it in the paper, or talked about it at the local coffee shop. I have heard it said on more than one occasion that Robert Lee was the driest city in Texas for 2011.

This images was taken at the Lake E.V. Spence on November 11, 2011. I was out shooting, in the soon to be completely dry lake bed, when I saw this. This stretch of lake bottom was filled with cracks of dry land. I'm not sure how deep they go, but they were at least a couple of feet down. It should be underwater by as much as 40 or 50 feet!

This image was taken at Lake E.V. Spence on November 11, 2011. The visible ground and trees should be underwater by as much as 40 or 50 feet! We have had a small amount of rain since then, but nothing that would impact the water level at the lake. If you look at some of my other images tagged with "Lake Spence" I think you will see a couple of images that really show our dire need for water.

My 2 year old son was supposed to be a spider for Halloween... but he wouldn't put the costume on. Luckily my wife was able to convince him to be a cowboy.

This was shot with available light. All adjustments were made in Lightroom 3.
