Martin Dies Jr, State Park

I posted this photo online along with the color version of it and many people seemed to enjoy it. That made me happy, however, one gentleman asked me a question I hadn't thought of and it gave me an idea. 

We look at pictures all the time but what is the story? What is in the name? Is there a meaning?  I have decide to change up the way this blog is done and make it about the photos. That is what I want to stand out. So, like I asked in the tile of the photo. What's in a name? The question I was asked was, what kind of name is Martin Dies? I had no idea, so I looked it up. 

Martin Dies Jr, was a Texas State Representative,
