Andre's Corner

Welcome to Andre's corner.
Sunday afternoon, March 2nd, 2008.
Debbie, Kelly and I took and 3 hour walk in the Ocmulgee National Park today. It was a beautiful day.
As usual, we saw the great herons, the white egrets, hundreds of turtles basking in the sun, and a lot of birds. We played on the railroad tracks trying to find our balance. Kelly and I climbed trees for fun. Real fun.
Today was special. As long as we have been going to this park in Macon, we have never seen any big snakes. Just small grass snakes. Today was different. We were just talking about the fact that we see all kinds of animals here but no snakes. We were just watching birds with our binoculars when we heard, then saw a big water moccassin going in the marsh. Wow!!! That was a biggie! What a beauty! It will make the hair stand on your skin. As we were still watching this non-aggressive snake, a man came by and we pointed the snake out to him. He goes "that's nothing, that's nothing, man. Do you see that log over there, I've seen a snake that big around here. And the alligator usually just goes from there to there." The log he pointed to was big. We've never seen the alligator either.
If you come around, you need to check this park out. It's free and full of life.
Well, we had a little fun today.
