PROMPT: SATURDAY IN THE PARK
What is your favorite park, where is it, and do you still go there? If you don't have a favorite park, then tell us why Saturday night's alright for fighting.




My favorite park is located about an hour and a half from where I currently live. It is called Mineola Nature Preserve and is on the Sabine River. At the preserve, there are areas for camping, ponds for fishing, a disc golf course, hiking and biking trails, equestrian trails, birdwatching areas, lookouts, numerous plant species, and tons of wildlife - even my favorite, alligators! The Nature Preserve also has quite a few places set up for photographs, an area for gatherings and special events, and an amphitheater. I love it because it has a bit of everything I enjoy doing in nature, and of course, the alligators.

My husband and I travel there for disc golf tournaments from time to time and we are planning a lovely camping trip out there once summer rolls around again. I cannot wait! I would love to hear the calls of the gators as I am drifting off to sleep! Then, when we wake with the sun, we will enjoy a light breakfast before we set off for a round of disc golf before the weather becomes too warm. If you like nature, this park is a nice one to go visit.

On the flip side of things, I also really enjoy Big Bend National Park in southwest Texas. The area is dry and rocky. The plant and wildlife found there are specialized for the desert climate. I love the bare beauty of the place, the changes in elevation.

Both places are quiet and peaceful and a reminder of what the world was like before urbanization.
