These are images from the Fort Worth Nature Center and Refuge taken late Friday afternoon. We had just started walking down Crosstimbers Trail when we ran into a kayaker who told us about a 10 foot gator laying on a log a quarter mile upstream. As we made our way to catch a glimpse of him, a Great Blue Heron flew by and landed on a tree across the river. The background was a little cluttered, but I thought the shadows, patterns, and motion of his wings as he landed were interesting. We found the gator about where he said it would be. It had moved into the water and appeared to be feeding… and it was indeed in the 10 foot range…the largest I had personally seen at the Center. As we worked our way back down the trail, I finished off with a couple of shots of the Bird Blind (I seem to take a lot of those). It was a nice day. link link
