Nature Walk


So the day after we arrived and met up with the paternal relatives, they took us for a nice nature walk in a nearby nature preserve.

The area featured many different types of birds and these creatures:



Yes alligators.

They also had some cute baby alligators in the indoor educational center:


The nature center also featured some frisky turtles.

A little menage a trois turtle action.

There were many birds about in the nature area, many of which gave a clue to their dinosaurian heritage:



It was a mile plus walk around the preserve and a beautiful escape from the snow and ice of Michigan.

Nope, none. You know what would have happened had one been seen.....

No fair - I'm slogging around in YOUR snow. Although I'd swear it feels warmer here than at home.

Old NFO: the stuffed snakes on display were no issue to one of our party. Had live snakes been seen in the swamp it would have been another matter.

PH: you be careful with those shortcuts eh? Glad to get away from it for a bit, I can tell you.
