Caddo Lake is the most photographed lake in Texas.  With its dripping spanish moss and swamp like environment, you will surely capture some unique and interesting images.  Caddo Lake is a birders paradise and is home to alligators, turtles, beavers, nutria, and many other water loving critters.

Since the days of summer are longer, we have added a new activity for the Summer Photography Weekend.  Saturday afternoon, all participants will have the opportunity to tour and photograph some of the most beautiful historic homes and gardens of Jefferson.  In fact, several of the home owners will be dressed in traditional Victorian period dress for us.  How's that for a photo opp?

Information on the historic homes

The Hale-Walla House was built in 1890 and is a classic example of a Queen Anne Victorian Cottage.  This beautiful home is known for its lush and beautiful gardens.

The Seaborn Moseley Manor was built in 1851 by the eccentric Judge Seaborn Moseley.  This traditional Greek Revival home has many beautiful rose gardens featuring several unique varieties of Old Growth Roses.

The Grove, built in 1861, is the most famous of the homes that we will be able to tour and photograph due to its distinction as being the most haunted house in Jefferson and possibly the state of Texas.
