And go gators!!!
Our next stop was the Anahuac National Wildlife Refuge (NWR). A bit disappointing because of the cloudy weather and lack of birds, one element made the long drive worthwhile nonetheless - my new favorite - alligators!
The NWR had a loop drive that followed alongside mud-lined canals. You never knew where you might see a gator! It was like a more exciting Easter egg hunt!! And for those of you who know how much I love Easter egg hunts - well, I was in my element!
Most of the gators were pretty small (probably around 3 ft long), but we did see this one dude, who was probably more like 5-6 feet. This guy was right out in the open, relatively speaking, but most of them were more hidden/camouflaged.
And after a full afternoon of gator hunting, we took another ferry back home. It was a fairly long wait for our ferry to come get us, but we had a very colorful sunset to enjoy meanwhile!
Just ferries passing in the night...

Spotting animals in the wild is awesome. We found so many alligators down in the Everglades last year. I took so many photos! Liked your pic of that big guy.
