I went to Wildcat Bluff Nature Center today. I had wondered what I was going to do today since there were no storms to chase. I then remembered the outing Steve Miller (TX) took a few weeks ago. His photos on his blog were great, so I thought I would go out and see what the place had to offer.
It's only about 10 minutes from my house, but believe it or not, this was the first time I had ever been there. It's basically a wildlife nature center with trails and other things to do. The main office was closed, but the trails are open from Dawn to Dusk. I have to admit, I was pretty impressed. I ventured the trails down to the Bluffs. At first, the trails are boring with little scenery. After a .8 mile hike, the bluff comes into view, and boy is it pretty. There are a lot of photo opportunities, and I will be going again soon.
I saw some wildlife such as ducks, rabbits, and birds of all sorts. I'm really surprised I didn't see any snakes. That place is great habitat for snakes of all kinds, including diamondback rattlers.
As I was leaving the parking lot, I saw a few road runners. But, I failed to see his nemesis, the coyote. Here are the photos:

I love the photos! I've never seen a roadrunner before, well, except Bugs Bunny-style! The two photos of the trees are spectacular, I love trees! I'm sorry you don't have any big storms to chase. We've got a thunderstorms for this afternoon and I'm eagerly awaiting them! I get giddy this time of year with the weather! Have a nice weekend.
Thanks for the comment rain! I'll get to chase some storms sooner or later.
