Brazos Bend Walk

I took Friday off to catch up on some things and to spend some time with Tracy. I had a couple of appointments with my favorite health care providers but it was a pretty day and there was time enough for a walk before the Braves game and my evening lesiure activity (you know what).

We headed out to Brazos Bend park and were expecting to see lots of people since it was a holiday weekend. That assumption was correct but we were able to find a trail that was pretty quiet save a few bicyclers. Here are some pictures of the trek.

We hiked the White Oak Trail to the Bluestem Trail.

I think they should have called it the Fire Ant Trail.



We stopped at the big oak for some pictures.



About this time I was thinking about a snack.



Wait a minute - I have taken survival training.
There must be food here somewhere.



What's this - a low-fat snack!



Yum. Now I'm ready to forge on through the rest of the trip.

From now on just call us Lewis & Clark....


We did have to take a breather later to wach the pollywog races.

And finally Tracy spotted this cottonmouth in the place where I had commented: "There should be some snakes here".

At various times along the trail we would hear a distinctly familiar sound. Kind of a busy, humming, sound. We finally located the source high up in a tree.

This is where bees belong - not in my rafters!



We had a great walk and made it back just in time for the Braves game.
Too bad they lost!
