Faceless at the Heard

Another no-face portrait. My son again, who hates getting his picture taken more than going to the orthodontist to get his braces tightened. Luckily, he was tired from walking through the Heard in McKinney, so I was able to catch this pic of him just completely worn out.

Spring is finally here, so I'm planning on getting out to the Heard soon for some new pictures.

AND, speaking of the Heard, they're about to be embroiled in a court battle over a sewage line. From their website:

The North Texas Municipal Water is suing the Heard for eminent domain. They want to put a 3,500 foot long, 42 inch diameter sewage line through the sanctuary prairie land and underneath the wetlands. They would also impact land of a total of 110 feet wide along the length of the 3,500 foot sewage line for accommodation of construction vehicles.

There would be short term and long term damage to the sanctuary including displacing animals that may never return, disrupting native prairie foliage, trees and grasses, contaminating the wetlands, causing a permanent odor, and disturbing the environment for regular maintenance visits and possible emergency situations with the pipeline.

No agreement has been reached and a trial date is going to be set. I think I can speak for the folks who really enjoy the Heard and say that I hope the Heard wins this fight. You can stay up-to-date on the latest news by signing up for their newsletter or following them on Twitter.
