After my first visit to Paynes Prairie, I was excited to see what I will encounter this time. As it was later in the day, we had decided to just visit the main part of the park. My husband and I once again went to the lookout tower behind the visitor's center. Unfortunately, there were no animals to be seen . As I gazed out into the prairie, hope as I might, nothing. Disappointed, we decided to go trekking through some of the shorter trails.
Nevertheless, the woods was beautiful teaming with a different type of life.
Then upon heading towards the campground area, I saw my first of the wildlife for the day.....
these fellows were accompanied by this little guy.
We reached the trail near the lake over at the campgrounds and followed it across the short bridge (Suggestion: read the warning sign about alligators and watch your step). Lucky for me, none were near the path. But I did spot this little guy hiding out in the water..
Once out of the woods, you will follow a trail in a field and there we spotted our first white tail deer.
After several peaceful hours at the park, it was time to head back towards the car and as I gazed at the lake, I share my last look upon the lake
until next time.....
