Wednesday April 3rd 2024

The day began cloudy and very humid. It got worse from there. The temperature climbed into the low eighties as the cloud cover increased. The cold front arrived in the 4PM hour with lots of heavy rain and a little bit of thunder and lightening. Some locations in the area got over an inch of rain before the precipitation ended around 8PM. With the passing of the front the temperature dropped into the sixties.

Today’s weather kept the alligators in the water. A few gators poked their heads above water to watch the world go by. The birds were back in the shelter of the woods during the heavy wind leading up to the storm. After the worst of the front passed the birds returned to the water in the light rain.

The weather cut down on my exercise today. I got in one short walk early, but the rain was still coming down when as sunset approached. To check on the alligators and birds, I drove to the bridge over the river on the park road. I got a little wet taking pictures of the birds. The alligators were still playing shy.
