Gator emerging from the water of Elm Lake at Brazos Bend State Park

Somewhere between mid-summer excitement and fall freshness.

Fall foliage, Texas style, in Elm Lake at Brazos Bend State Park

This green heron made a series of high pitch calls while I was taking pictures of an alligater and a sandpiper. I kept looking back and I couldn't find it. Finally, I saw a little shadow under the tree. Then I turned my attention to it. Here it was. Within the shooting ranger of my 300mm and under the perfect lighting.

Bullfrog in Creekfield Lake

Four black-necked stilts - which usually stick a little closer to the coast - walking in single file in the almost dry Creekfield Lake at Brazos Bend State Park

Those are some very impressive punk-rocker-inspired chunks of fuzz!

There are your regular, plain old

average grapevines, and then there

is this monstrous SOB Nancy is

posing with.

This one was taken in Brazos Bend State Park........

Cottontail rabbit at Brazos Bend State Park

For those who haven't seen a gator walk (and anyone who likes to see them walk). I wish that the bg was a bit more natural, but it is what it is :)

I watched as this female golden silk spider (the larger one) seemed to pursue the smaller one. The larger spider is a female, the smaller a male. I surmised they had mated, and the female intended to eat the male, something that often happens when spiders mate. While I watched, she didn't manage to catch him, but she may have done so after I left.
