This afternoon I took Caleb to the Sibley Nature Center to walk around the nature trail, and see what we could find that was interesting. Caleb saw a rabbit, some lizards, a lot of birds, a spider, some ants, some fish, turtles, and a pair of coots.

Here is a picture of an interesting plant we came across. It is some type of cactus or succulent that was often found growing intertwined in the branches of mesquite trees. This plant appears to have fruits that are similar to a prickly pear tuna.



The next picture is of a coot that was swimming about in the little pond. The coot got out onto a fallen piece of timber, and I shot this picture.



I also took this photo of a rather dramatic sky above a large tree next to the pond.



Finally, here is a shot of a bird on some cattails that are growing in the edge of the little pond. I'm not sure what kind of bird it is, though.



Caleb had a great time, but he was very tired by the time we got through.
