Post-Post Oak

Post Oak is a nice little trail, not quite the same adventure as several of the other trails, like Giant City, Indian Creek, or Trillium, but still worthwhile. After circling along the trail, we returned to the pond, which is definitely a highlight, so I could try and catch some photos of dragonflies. I wasn't successful, but we did sneak up on a little reptilian sunbather.


Soaking in the Rays

Spotlighting a Star

The turtle had definitely spotted us. When we moved too close for its comfort, it dove back into the water. At this moment, one of the more surreal moments of the trip occurred. While we standing on the bridge, a chorus enveloped us. Loudly. Eerie and almost a bit threatening.

Bullfrogs!

They didn't make a sound when we first approached the pond, but during the return forty minutes later, they started their croaking in all directions around us. We were surrounded. We couldn't see them, but they could see us. For minutes, they kept loudly vocalizing, while I tried to catch some more images. There was something in the sound, its edge, the perspective of standing on a bridge across a pond with little unseen creatures all around.

Nature.
Yes.
