George Bush Park Bayou Walk

The temperature today was deadly- the real feel was 108 all day- so I had to go out just before sunset to escape the humidity. It was a pleasant walk, aside from the heat and the wasps; I visit the bayou and the nearby trails frequently, but almost never stop to look around as much as I did today (I didn't even realize I crossed a city line until looking at the location of my posts). I hardly spotted fungus which was unexpected but I believe I spotted all four types of plants we have discussed. On the trails, there were oak trees, moss growing on almost every branch, ferns at the base of most of them, and scattered flowers all along the bayou. Aside from the flowers, all of the other plants seemed to grow clustered with one another and it was almost hard to distinguish where a bush began or a tree started. For the animal kingdom, it was mostly birds, insects, and a few fish jumping around. There was a notable spider and a beautiful purple dragonfly that wouldn't stay still long enough for a picture. Overall, it was a great walk and I'd love to make more observations when the temperatures chills out.
