Gator

We were watching this gator at the edge of the pond.

When suddenly he stood up.


Then he proceeded to walk across the trail, right between Judy and me. That’s Judy in the background with Jeff. She’s the legs with the walking stick.

I broke the video into two pieces, because I didn’t really mean to be that close to him. I decided it was time to take a couple steps back.

Change of scenery

We moved to Brazos Bend State Park for a few days. A hundred fifty miles. Now we’re looking at stuff like this.

Common Moorhen, White Ibis, and American Alligator. Tonight we saw fireflies and heard Coyotes, Eastern Screech-owls, and Barred Owls

Hummingbirds

We have so many kinds of Hummingbirds here.

We have the Ruby-throated Hummingbird.

The Geek-necked I-need-a-drink Ruby-throated Hummingbird.

And the Speckle-headed I-just-ate-a-white-flower Ruby-throated Hummingbird.
