My Neighborhood

(I'm doing this on my parent's neighborhood, because my apartment complex wouldn't be too fascinating.)

For the most part, my neighborhood in Fort Myers is filled with manscapted yards and Lowe's flowers planted in mulch. But behind the palm trees and in my backyard is a lake filled with wildlife and greenery. This lake is home to egrets, water moccasins, ducks, and the occasional alligator. When I was about 6 years old, animal control had to come out to the lake and set up a trap that involved a fish hook, pole, and bait that looked like a brain. Our neighborhood has had quite the record of animal problems. At one point there were atleast two dozen ducks in the lake and many neighbors felt the need to feed the ducks on a daily basis... but of course some neighbors weren't so happy about it. These ducks are really ugly because most of them have red tumor-like bumps all over their faces, as you will see below.
