An American Alligator (Alligator Mississippiensis) watches people as they walk down the trail at Brazos Bend State Park, Texas, USA.
On Monday, Carl and I ate lunch in Lake Jackson at All-Star Pizza. We had the delicious buffet of pizza, calzones, and cookies. Afterwards we drove to Brazos Bend State Park where we saw some wildlife exhibits and saw some wildlife: butterflies, a deer, a snake, baby alligators, some birds, and a baby coyote?
Then we drove to the museum district of Houston. At the Houston Museum of Natural Science, we toured two exhibits: Terra Cotta Warriors and the Spirits & Headhunters: Vanishing Worlds of the Amazon. We also saw the skeletons of some dinosaurs and exhibits of animals from Africa.
We had planned to go to the Houston Zoo since it was open free to the public on Columbus Day, but they wouldn't let us inside since it was less than an hour before closing time. Instead we found Hermann Park with a pond, some ducks, some coy, a turtle, and some statues. It was a nice find at the end of the day.
We drove back to Lake Jackson and ate a most delicious steak at Salt Grass Steak House before returning to Carl's house for me to pack up and leave early the next morning.
The white plumage and pink facial skin of adult American White Ibis and black wing tips that are usually only visible in flight.
During the breeding season, the skin darkens to a deep pink on the bill and an almost purple-tinted red on the legs.

Week 32 Theme: "Motion"
What a great theme this week. I attempted to photograph the Perseid meteor shower. However, while I was waiting for the meteors to be more frequent, I started a star trails shot. This is a stacked photo of about 200 30-second photos to make one 100minute long photo of the star trails in Brazos Bend State Park.

So close, no matter how far
Couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
and nothing else matters
