Cow Bayou, Houston, TX.

I wonder if that egret knew the alligator was just across the bayou...

Is this near where you live? Were you outside?

Yep, this was taken from the window of my apartment. I was inside. There's a fence between my apartment complex and the bayou -- it goes all the way to the ground, and now I know why.

Actually, I've seen this alligator about 4 times in the past year.

Yoinks! That's what I call tense.
