The boardwalk was closed after the flooding last summer. Lots of dedicated staff and volunteers repaired it and it is now open.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The other day I had some time all to myself and I was thinking that I would go to the boat show, but it was a very nice day so, heck with the boat show, I am going to Oxley Nature Center. A day out in the woods and marshes beats a day at the boat show anytime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do you see the pelicans?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I only had an hour and half before it closed but I have been out there lots of times and knew what I wanted to see so I went on a circumscribed circuit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here’s the pelicans. Sorry, my big camera’s battery died so all these photos except one are from my cell phone.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The trails were very muddy in places but there are enough trails that one can get around the soggy areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oxley’s visitor center blends into the landscape.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

There are lots of woods there, and lots of ponds, lakes and marshes to get around. So I finished my outing in plenty of time, all refreshed and ready to go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oklahoma since the demise of the Dallas Cowboys is now College Football territory and people don’t talk much about NFL football. I did find this Kansas City Chiefs fan at a gas station. I think he’d make a great defensive lineman. He’s not very fast but nobody is going to move him off the line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
