@sandra-Bats are our friends. They eat millions of mosquitos every night. While you do not want to walk under the bridge, being on top of the bridge is a wonderful view point.
@cincymusic-They won’t hurt you. They are good creatures in spite of all the vampire movies…LOL!
@rosemary-Isn’t that web creepy? The thing keeps growing and growing. however, it is catching lots of mosquitoes, so I guess its okay.
Thinking of bats made me think of this article from the New York Times that you might be interested in.

That is an incredible picture, but contrasting. Such a beautiful sunset with such a scary looking creature!
The picture looks so beautiful, though I’m not really fond of bats. But I guess it’s still a lovely place to visit for all any passport holder who can drop by Texas.
