Yesterday we visited Brazos Bend State Park, about 45 minutes from our house. Armed with binoculars, cameras and zoom lens we went for a walk around one of the many lakes in the park.
Little did we know that the zoom lens would not be needed! We came across this 8 foot alligator about two minutes into our walk!
After our first encounter we continued our alligator spotting trip. We counted 32 gators in total!!! That is about 10-15% of the adult population of the park. Pretty good score, we thought.
Most of the other alligators were just resting on the banks in the lake and were a bit further away than our first friend. Unfortunately my camera battery died, so no close up of those. We will just have to go back on another gator spotting trip.
If you look really close you can see two alligators on the grass.
Less exciting but nonetheless very pretty, these huge mushrooms we saw growing on a tree trunk.
