When we had company visit us recently, we took them to the Anahuac National Wildlife Refuge which is a few miles from our home. There are many alligators making this wetland facility their home but you don't always get to see all of them. They are masters at hiding in the waters. Gators can stay submerged or just have eyeballs visible - the better to watch you...
While making this visit, we didn't see lots of alligators but we did see something I'd never witnessed before. A grinning gator - well, I want to believe that is what he was doing. This guy was hiding in the marsh grass and we nearly missed him. My husband backed so our friend, Dick, and I could get out of the car and snap our photos.
These photos are the gators reaction when my hubby did his best gator noises. He must have done a good job to get this response!
We had about 20 feet of water between us and the gator and kept our car doors open. This seemed a good sign that it was time to get back into the car!
The refuge isn't only gators - there are a variety of water fowl, a butterfly garden and beautiful nature scenes throughout.
