Sunday Morning
This Mama Gator is MUCH bigger than the one from Friday. And MUCH more aggressive!!
One of only a few photos of her babies
Fulvous Whistling Ducks. Male and female. More of these guys showing up every week.
This guy was all by himself. Big enough to be on his own, maybe.
More of the fruiting bodies of the water lilies
I think it's a Gar. But maybe not. This guy is about a foot and a half long.
I hope you like.

Thank you, Bill! We are, It has started, just started, to cool down with a small drop in humidity. It's more comfortable chasing photos in the swamp these days. And I look forward to it getting better as the cool down continues.
How is it going for you? I know you have similar weather in South Texas, I was stationed in Corpus Christi in the Navy.

Thanks, Jack. I used to bow fish for them in Missouri when I was a kid. This looks different, but with basically the same body shape so I wasn't sure.

Yes we do. I'm between Corpus and Houston. Due to some health issues I haven't done much in several months, but I'm improving.
