Before sunlight, it’s all creeping around
Even though I went to bed early, I didn’t get up until 6AM and couldn’t get out the door till 6:30 – had to hurry to walk Loca so she wouldn’t be Loca and also stay out of the sun because of the sensitivity of my face. We hit the park when it was still slightly dark and I swear I saw an alligator in the lagoon. If it wasn’t, then it was four nutrias holding on mouth to tail, so I think it was an alligator. Next I saw a big fat racoon running breakneck speed across the meadow and then up a tree. It’s like all the creatures that live by night were scurrying to find their daytime hiding places. Right now, I live among them. Had to wait till dark last night to walk Loca and had to get out before the sun came up to walk her again.
This morning, as we scurried home with the sun already making it’s way up, we were tailed by a large pelican that dive bombed into the bayou and then surfaced again to glide the water alongside us.
